The main domain currently open to regular users on the Binance Official Site is binance.com. Supplementary backup domains include binance.info and binance.bz, while U.S. users must use the separately operated binance.us. When searching, many people see a long list of similar-looking addresses, but the real official entry is just one main site plus a few backup sites announced by Binance. This article lays out the domains Binance currently uses, the domains it has used historically, and how to avoid falling into phishing sites. To jump in directly, use the Binance Official Site to register a new account, or sign in through the Binance Official App. PC users can refer to the iOS Install Guide for client entry points.
Binance's Current Official Domains
Global Main Site binance.com
binance.com has been the main domain Binance has held since the platform launched in July 2017. It carries spot, futures, earn, and yield services for users across most countries and regions worldwide. After login, it defaults to redirecting to www.binance.com, where user center, deposits/withdrawals, and KYC are all completed.
Information and News binance.info
binance.info is used mainly for official announcements, research reports, and project analysis content. This domain does not directly carry trading functions, but it can serve as a supplementary entry for checking announcements. When access to the main site is limited, some users first grab the latest official news from binance.info.
Backup Access binance.bz
binance.bz is one of the backup domains Binance announced publicly after 2023. Its main purpose is to let some regions' existing users still open the login page when the main site has access issues. The login account on this domain is fully identical to binance.com — account, assets, and API keys are all shared.
U.S. Standalone Site binance.us
binance.us is the standalone exchange Binance operates specifically for compliant U.S. users, licensed and operated by BAM Trading Services. Strictly speaking, binance.us and binance.com are not products of the same company. The account systems, listed coins, and fee structures are all different.
Domains Binance Has Used Historically
The Early .io / .cc / .jp
In the early days of 2017 when Binance was founded, it successively used domains like binance.io, binance.cc, and binance.jp. Most of these domains have been retired or redirect to the main site. Existing users who still keep these bookmarks should switch to binance.com as soon as possible.
Short-Lived Mirrors
When some regions saw fluctuations in access, Binance temporarily enabled pinyin-suffixed Chinese-style domains like binancezh.com, binancezh.top, and binancezh.pro. All these domains have now been retired and redirect to the main site. They are not recommended to continue bookmarking.

How to Confirm the Real Address Currently in Use
Check Official Announcements
Every time Binance changes or adds a backup domain, it is written up in the main site's announcement bar, on the official X (formerly Twitter) account @binance, and in email notifications. Any domain that has not appeared through official channels should not be trusted. Even if a domain accessed from an unknown link looks letter-for-letter identical, it may be a Punycode-spoofed phishing address.
Inspect the SSL Certificate
Click the lock icon in the browser address bar and check the organization the certificate is issued to. The certificate for the Binance main site should be issued by a trusted CA, and the certificate subject should clearly include the binance.com domain. If the certificate subject is an unfamiliar domain, or the certificate is flagged red by the browser, close the page immediately.
Use a Saved Bookmark
After entering the main site for the first time, save the address as a browser bookmark. From then on, enter through the bookmark every time rather than searching again through a search engine. The top of search engine results may be ads, and phishing sites often place ads in those slots.
Common Misconceptions
Thinking Any Domain with "binance" in It Is Official
Addresses like binance-vip.com, binance-login.com, and binance.org are either phishing sites or domains used by other projects for their own purposes. None of them belong to Binance officially. Official Binance does not use hyphenated domains as login entries.
Assuming Search Engine Rankings Can Be Trusted
Search engine rankings are affected by ads, SEO optimization, and other factors, so the top-ranked result is not necessarily official. Many users are led to phishing sites at this step and ultimately lose their assets. Confirming the domain before logging in matters more than getting in quickly.
Assuming the App Has No Domain Issues
If the app's installation package is not fetched from binance.com's official download page, it may still have phishing login logic injected. The app and the web page work by the same principle: the source must be the official domain.
Frequently Asked Questions
After Binance Updates the Official URL, Does the Old URL Still Work?
Under normal circumstances, the old main domain binance.com will not be taken offline; newly added ones are just backup domains. Unless Binance proactively announces that a historical domain is being retired, there's no need to worry about the old address becoming invalid.
Can I Enter Through Binance's Chinese Pinyin Domains?
Pinyin domains that appeared historically, like binancezh.com, have all been retired. If you see such a domain in search results again, it can basically be judged as phishing or expired cache, and clicking it is not recommended.
Is There Any Difference Between binance.com and www.binance.com?
There is no substantive difference. www.binance.com is the standard subdomain form of binance.com, and the browser will automatically handle redirection between the two. Both addresses open the same main site.
Does Binance Send Login Links via SMS?
Binance officially does not send clickable login links directly via SMS or email. Any SMS with "click to log in" or "claim reward" links is phishing scam, no matter how legitimate the sending number looks.
Which Domain Should I Switch to When the Main Site Is Unreachable?
Try the two officially recognized backup domains — binance.info and binance.bz — in order. If it still can't open, we recommend switching to the Binance Official App. The app uses a different access point, and the web page being unreachable does not mean the app is unavailable.
