Wednesday. January 22 at 5:00 AM
1 min. readBinance, the leading crypto exchange, facilitated $26 billion in peer-to-peer remittances from 2022 to 2024, saving users $1.75 billion in fees. CEO Richard Teng announced this milestone at the World Economic Forum, praising Binance Pay for revolutionizing remittances. Despite representing a fraction of global flows, the $26 billion figure is growing as more people turn to crypto for financial solutions. Traditional remittance methods often incur high fees, with reports citing fees as high as 15% to 20%. In contrast, Binance's fee-free transfers have been a game-changer, with an average remittance of $470 in 2024. Over 500,000 women conducted $4 billion in remittances, showcasing crypto's role in financial inclusion. Teng emphasized the importance of fee-free transfers for low-income individuals and migrant workers, highlighting crypto's efficiency and affordability in sending funds globally.
