- Binance is launching a “Crypto-as-a-Service” solution for traditional financial institutions
- The white-label solution provides access to spot and futures markets, liquidity, custody, and compliance tools
- Traditional institutions maintain control of their front-end experience while Binance powers the back-end
- Select institutions can access the service starting immediately with wider rollout in Q4
- Coinbase started offering a similar crypto-as-a-service solution in June 2025
In a move aimed at bridging the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets, Binance announced on Monday the launch of a new “Crypto-as-a-Service” (CaaS) solution. This white-label offering will enable licensed banks, brokerages, and stock exchanges to provide crypto services to their clients without building their own infrastructure from scratch.
The solution allows traditional financial institutions (TradFi) to access Binance’s extensive resources. These include spot and futures markets, liquidity pools, custody solutions, and compliance tools.
According to the announcement, institutions will maintain full control over their brand identity and user experience. Binance will handle the back-end operations, supporting trading, liquidity, custody, compliance, and settlement functions.
The timing of this launch comes as demand for digital assets continues to grow. Binance stated that offering crypto access is “no longer optional” for TradFi institutions seeking to meet client expectations.
Select institutions will gain access to Binance’s new service starting Tuesday. A wider rollout is planned for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Growing TradFi Interest in Crypto
The move reflects increasing interest from traditional financial players in the cryptocurrency space. Many banks and exchanges currently offer indirect crypto exposure through stocks in crypto treasury companies and spot crypto exchange-traded funds.
Binance’s new service could provide these institutions with a more direct pathway. It would allow their clients to buy and sell cryptocurrencies without intermediaries.
The Trump administration’s crypto-friendly policies have given Wall Street increased confidence. This has led to more public companies and large TradFi firms investing in the asset class.
Catherine Chen, head of VIP and institutional at Binance, highlighted the growing demand. “The demand for digital assets is growing faster than ever, and traditional financial institutions can no longer afford to be on the sidelines,” she said.
Key Features of the Service
The white-label solution includes several features designed to streamline operations for financial institutions. One key component is internalized trading, which allows institutions to route client orders within their own systems.
This setup helps firms manage liquidity and order flow independently. They can still connect to Binance’s spot and futures markets when necessary.
The service also includes a management dashboard. This provides visibility into trading activity, client onboarding, asset flows, and trade distribution.
Binance emphasized that building in-house technology and compliance frameworks can be expensive and risky. Their CaaS solution offers “a faster path to market without the heavy lift of building everything in-house.”
Importantly, institutions can match orders directly between their own clients where “best-price matching” is available internally. This feature appears to be exclusive to Binance’s offering.
The solution also taps into Binance’s global orderbook. This provides better execution, tighter spreads, and access to more trading pairs for clients.
The CaaS offering includes a “Client Management” feature. This allows institutions to segment clients, apply tailored fee markups, and create personalized trading experiences.
Binance is not alone in this market. Coinbase, one of its largest competitors, began offering a similar crypto-as-a-service solution in June 2025.
The announcement indicates that full support for the CaaS offering is expected to be operational by the end of 2026.
