Binance officially announced the launch of Binance Junior today, December 3, 2025, as a dedicated app and sub-account system aimed at introducing children and teens ages 6–17 to cryptocurrency in a controlled, educational way.
This move positions Binance as a pioneer in family-focused crypto education, blending savings features with strong parental oversight to promote financial literacy while mitigating risks like speculative trading.
Parents who must be verified Binance users with KYC and 2FA create and link a child’s sub-account. They can deposit funds from their main account or via on-chain transfers, set daily spending/transfer limits, and receive real-time notifications for every transaction. Parents can instantly freeze or disable the account if needed.
Kids can access Binance’s Flexible Simple Earn product to grow savings through interest-bearing crypto holdings, but no spot trading, futures, or high-risk activities are allowed. For teens 13+, limited use of Binance Pay enables peer-to-peer transfers between siblings or parents, restricted by parental limits and regional regulations.

The app features a simplified interface for family use, with built-in tools to teach basics like blockchain and security. Binance also released a companion illustrated book, “ABC’s of Crypto”, to make learning fun and accessible at home.
It’s rolling out initially in select markets via the Apple App Store and Google Play, with global expansion pending regulatory approvals. Transfers to non-family adults are blocked for safety.
Binance Co-founder Yi He emphasized this as a step toward “preparing the next generation for a digital financial future” by encouraging healthy saving habits over gambling-like trading.
The launch has ignited lively debate on X, with over a dozen posts in the last hour reflecting a split in opinions, some see it as a “huge step for real adoption,” praising the controls as a responsible way to onboard the next generation.
One user called it a “smart financial education move.” Others highlighted its potential to build long-term family wealth. Detractors worry it’s “crazy and irresponsible,” accusing Binance of “targeting kids” and turning them into “exit liquidity” for the market. Jokes about “future moonboys in training” underscore fears of early exposure to volatility.
French-language posts noted the app’s controls for deposits and withdrawals, while others tied it to broader trends like Trump-era family finance initiatives. While supporters view it as innovative and empowering, skeptics argue the crypto space isn’t mature enough for minors—echoing ongoing global discussions on youth financial literacy.
The ABC of Crypto released alongside the Binance Junior app launch, “ABC’s of Crypto” is a self-published educational book by Binance designed to demystify cryptocurrency for children, teens, and crypto newcomers.
Structured as an A-to-Z children’s book, it uses simple rhymes, colorful illustrations, and everyday analogies to make complex topics “as easy as ABC,” aligning with Binance’s family finance initiative to foster early financial literacy without overwhelming jargon.
An illustrated hardcover or digital book available for free in the Binance app, aimed at ages 6–17 but accessible to all beginners. It features fun, engaging visuals—like cartoon characters explaining concepts—to encourage family reading sessions.
Each letter of the alphabet spotlights a core crypto idea, turning learning into an alphabetic adventure. The book breaks down essentials like: A for Assets: What digital money is and why it matters in everyday finance.
B for Blockchain: The “digital ledger” that keeps everything secure and transparent. W for Wallets: How to store and protect crypto safely. Basics of staying safe online, types of cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin as “digital gold”), and avoiding risks.
It emphasizes healthy habits like saving over speculation, tying into Binance Junior’s controlled savings features. Part of Binance’s push for “preparing the next generation for a digital financial future,” the book promotes shared learning to build confidence in crypto as mainstream finance evolves.
It’s not about trading tips but foundational knowledge to prevent common pitfalls like scams. Download the digital version directly in the Binance mobile app under educational resources or access physical copies via Binance’s family finance hub. It’s free, with no purchase required, and integrates with Binance Academy for deeper dives.
Global rollout matches Binance Junior’s phased approach, starting in select markets. This book stands out in a space often criticized for complexity—it’s a refreshing, low-pressure entry point.
