CZ Reacts to Bitcoin's New Record: "A Historic Moment" — BNB Turns 8 Years Old

July 14, 2025, not only marks an important milestone for Bitcoin as it sets a new all-time high (ATH), but also celebrates the 8th anniversary of Binance Coin — the digital coin issued by the Binance exchange. These two events are not only symbolic but also reflect the strong maturity of the cryptocurrency market over time. CZ: From 1,000 USD To Hundreds of Thousands of USD – The Amazing Journey of Bitcoin Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, posted on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to share his emotions regarding the historic milestone of Bitcoin. He recalled his first purchase of Bitcoin in 2014, and then three years later, BTC reached the milestone of 1,000 USD in 2017 — a figure that was then considered "beyond imagination." However, over time, the price of 1,000 USD is now just a tiny fraction, less than 1% compared to the current price of BTC. This demonstrates the long-term growth strength of Bitcoin when compared to any traditional asset. 8th Anniversary of Binance Coin: From 0.06 USD to Over 706 USD On the same day, July 14, Binance and the cryptocurrency community celebrated the 8th birthday of BNB. CZ shared that on the launch day, BNB was only traded at a price of 0.06 USD. But today, BNB has reached a price of over 706 USD, equivalent to an increase of over 11,700 times — a figure that would astonish any investor. BNB is currently not only a token of the exchange, but also a pillar of the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem (BSC), used for transaction fees, staking, DeFi, NFT, and many other applications. Binance - 8 Years of Resilience and Rapid Growth Overcoming a series of storms, legal challenges, and fierce competition in the blockchain industry, Binance has not only survived but also risen to become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, serving over 280 million users globally. The event on July 14th is a strong reminder of faith, long-term vision, and the ability to remain steadfast in a constantly changing market. Both Bitcoin and Binance are proving that: with the right strategy and perseverance, cryptocurrency can deliver results far beyond expectations. The Bright Future of Cryptocurrency With a series of major victories in the ecosystem, from approved ETF funds, rising adoption, to advancements in legal and technological aspects, the confidence in the future of the crypto industry is growing stronger. Today is not just a day of numbers, but also a historical milestone affirming the position of Bitcoin, BNB, and the entire blockchain industry on the path to sustainable development.
