- Binance launches parent-controlled crypto app for kids ages 6 to 17.
- Binance Junior operates as sub-account with parental oversight and controls.
- App includes features for saving, earning, and sending crypto with limits.
Binance has launched Binance Junior, a parent-controlled app and sub-account designed for kids and teens. The platform aims to build family-focused crypto savings and prepare children for a future with digital assets.
CEO Richard Teng unveiled Binance Junior on December 2-3, 2025, at Binance Blockchain Week Dubai held at the Coca-Cola Arena.
Binance Junior operates as a secure way for parents to introduce crypto to their children. The account opens as a sub-account of a parent’s master account.
The child’s name identifies the sub-account but the parent remains the legal owner of the Binance Junior account.
Binance Junior offers three core features
The platform provides three main functions for young users. Parents can deposit and withdraw crypto into their child’s Binance Junior app.
The app allows parents to decide how they want to grow their child’s crypto with APY payouts from Binance Earn. Children can send crypto to other Binance Junior accounts within pre-set transfer limits.
Young users between the ages of 6 to 17 can use a Binance Junior account with parental supervision. Age requirements may vary depending on local laws in different jurisdictions.
The young user’s parent needs to be an existing Binance user who has completed KYC and enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). They can then create a Binance Junior account by providing the necessary information.
The Binance Junior account allows young users to earn crypto via Junior Flexible Simple Earn in jurisdictions where this feature is available.
This supports early financial learning and savings for kids. Parents can transfer funds directly into the Binance Junior account via the parent’s master account or deposit via on-chain transfers.
Users who are 13 or higher depending on location will be allowed to use the Binance Pay function. They can transact with other Binance Junior accounts and their parental account with daily limits applied.
Transaction limits restrict Binance Junior activity
On-chain withdrawals, trading, and payment from Binance Junior accounts to non-parent adult users or merchants are restricted. Binance Junior accounts can only conduct transactions with other Junior accounts and their related parent accounts.
There is a daily payment restriction of $400 USD for payments to other Junior accounts. Binance Junior accounts do not support trading or on-chain withdrawals.
The platform is family-centric and designed to provide secure crypto education. Parents maintain full control and oversight of all transactions conducted through the junior accounts.
Binance reaches 300 million users globally
Binance has reached nearly 300 million users globally. The exchange continues its expansion toward a one billion user target. Richard Teng made several announcements at the Dubai event. The exchange appointed co-founder Yi He as Co-CEO alongside Teng.
Binance Junior is the exchange’s strategy to get hold of the next generation of crypto users. The parent-controlled approach addresses regulatory concerns about minors accessing cryptocurrency platforms.
Parents maintain full legal ownership and oversight while children gain exposure to digital assets in a supervised environment.
The platform launch comes as Binance solidifies its position as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.
