Do you have an exchange account with Binance? Considering it’s the biggest crypto exchange in the world, there’s a good chance you do.

Not only is Binance the world’s biggest exchange, but it has also developed one of the largest networks in the space. It has branched into trading, blockchains, education, ICOs and very notably DEXs (decentralised exchanges).

The Binance Chain and decentralised exchange are what we will be focusing on here.

What is BEP2?

BEP2 stands for Binance Chain Evolution Proposal 2. It’s essentially a criterion that tokens must meet to function in the Binance ecosystem.

An issue that often occurs when using a specific chain, is the lack of interoperability. The problem with crypto is its division. Certain tokens can’t be used or transferred on certain chains. This means that on certain chains an asset has little or no liquidity.

A key example is BTC. It’s slow, hard to develop on, and developers struggle to find workarounds to deal with high fees and slow speeds. So trading BTC on the Binance network has been very limited.

How do you deal with this?

Well, how about we buy lots of Bitcoins, put them in a safe, issue a token that does work well on Binance and use it as a substitute? Bright idea, right?

It’s what our forefathers did with treasury bills during the very early days of money.

Well, that’s exactly what they did. BTCB is a token 100% backed by BTC that Binance has in its reserve. The price is pegged to Bitcoin at a rate of 1:1. Think of it as a clone of BTC issued on the Binance Chain. What’s even cooler is its transparency, you can actually see the reserve BTC Binance is holding for the project.

As it developed on the Binance Chain, BTCB easily fixes the issues developers had experienced with BTC whilst maintaining the qualities desired from Bitcoin. They’ve fixed the interoperability issue we discussed earlier.

People are familiar with Ethereum and the ERC20 network, BTCB is just like WBTC or RenBTC on the Ethereum network.

The impact of BTCB

Since the release of BTCB, traders on Binance DEX have had the opportunity to trade BTC, even if the BTC is hosted on a completely different blockchain. BTCB, therefore, provides Binance DEX traders with access to even more trading pairs, resulting in increased trading volumes. As the range of available assets has grown, so has the liquidity on the platform. All in all, Binance benefits, Bitcoin benefits and anyone trading in the space benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
