The latest official Binance URL is www.binance.com, the primary domain of the global international edition and the entrance that the vast majority of Chinese-speaking users should be accessing. To open the main site directly, click Binance Official Site, or download the Binance Official App straight away. iOS users can refer to the iOS Install Guide. In addition to .com, Binance also operates several other legitimate suffixes such as .info, .bz, and .us, but each of them serves a different purpose and they are not simply "backup URLs." Understanding this clearly before you visit will keep you off phishing sites.
1. The One and Only Main Entrance of Binance
The Binance exchange has only one global primary domain, and that is binance.com. It has not been changed since it was registered and launched in 2017. When visiting, you can type www.binance.com or m.binance.com (the mobile version) directly.
A few common legitimate sub-paths:
- www.binance.com/zh-CN: Simplified Chinese interface
- www.binance.com/en: English interface
- accounts.binance.com: Account login and security settings
- api.binance.com: Developer API endpoints
- futures.binance.com: Futures trading entrance
All of these are legitimate subdomains under the binance.com main domain. You do not need to register a separate account for them, and login state is shared across them.
2. What Is binance.info?
Many people come across www.binance.info during a search. This is also a domain owned by Binance itself, primarily used as the help center and a backup access entrance. When the main domain runs into localized network issues, Binance may post announcements or temporary entrances through .info, but it is not an independent trading site. Traffic still eventually redirects back to binance.com for login.
If you see a search engine result starting with binance.info whose link actually points to some strange other domain, then that is almost certainly phishing camouflage, and you should be extra cautious.
3. The Role of binance.bz
.bz is the country-code top-level domain for Belize. Binance registered this suffix mainly to preserve its brand assets and prevent malicious squatting. Visiting binance.bz will usually return a 301 redirect to the main domain or the corresponding help center page. It is not an independently operated site.
If you open binance.bz and see what looks like a complete trading interface, then it is almost certainly a fake site and you should close it immediately.
4. The Relationship Between binance.us and the Main Site
binance.us is an independent US entity operated by BAM Trading Services, serving residents of the United States. It is not interchangeable with the global main site binance.com in any of the following respects:
| Comparison | binance.com | binance.us |
|---|---|---|
| Operating entity | Binance Holdings | BAM Trading Services |
| Target users | Global (except US) | US residents |
| Account system | Independent | Independent, requires separate registration |
| Number of coins | Around 350+ | Around 150 |
| Futures trading | Supported | Not supported |
| KYC review | International process | US domestic process |
The overwhelming majority of Chinese-speaking users should use binance.com, unless you hold US residency status and actually live in the United States.
5. Academy, NFT, and Other Official Sub-sites
Beyond the main trading site, Binance operates several other officially run standalone sites:
- academy.binance.com: Binance Academy, a free crypto knowledge base
- research.binance.com: Binance Research, industry reports
- charity.binance.com: Binance Charity
- labs.binance.com: Binance Labs incubator
All of these sites sit under the binance.com main domain, so brand authority is guaranteed. However, they only provide information services — you cannot trade or withdraw on them.
6. How to Confirm That You Are on the Real Official Site
Three core checkpoints:
- The domain must be binance.com. It can be prefixed with www, m, accounts, and so on, but the main domain must be exactly those nine letters.
- The browser address bar must display the security lock, and the certificate should be issued to
*.binance.com. - Do not click through search engine ad slots. Instead, type the address directly or use a browser bookmark.
If you run into variants like binance-xx.com, binance.xxx.net, bi-nance.com, or b1nance.com, they are all counterfeit sites. Even if the interface looks identical and the logo is made to look exactly the same, once you enter your account and password it will be stolen.
7. FAQ
Q1: Why are there so many websites when I search for "Binance official site"? A: The top few search engine results are often ad slots, and a large number of counterfeit sites buy keyword placement. The real official site usually shows up as the top organic result, but the safest practice is to type www.binance.com directly in the browser address bar.
Q2: Which backup URL should I use when binance.com won't open? A: Install the official app first — it automatically switches to available nodes. You can also try m.binance.com (the mobile page), or obtain a temporary access link from the official Twitter or Telegram. Never trust third-party "mirrors."
Q3: I saw a new domain on some forum claiming to be the new Binance official website — is it trustworthy? A: Binance has never changed its primary domain. Any claim that "the official site has moved to a new domain" is a scam. If Binance ever switches or launches a new domain, they will announce it through Twitter, official bulletins, and app push notifications simultaneously.
Q4: Is the address the same for the app and the web version? A: The app's backend calls the same binance.com main domain API, and data is fully consistent. The app itself can only be obtained through the Binance Official App entrance. Do not search for it in app stores.
Q5: What if I accidentally entered my account on a fake site? A: Log in immediately from the real official site. As soon as possible, change your password, reset your Google Authenticator, disable all API keys, and check the withdrawal whitelist. If you notice any unusual fund movement, contact customer service immediately to freeze the account.
8. Summary
Remember one main thread: the global main site of Binance is always www.binance.com. The other .info and .bz are for auxiliary or brand-protection purposes, and .us is an independent US version. When you can't find an entrance, directly typing the main domain or using the official app is the safest approach. For search engine results, forum links, and URLs shared in community groups, always double-check the domain before opening.
