Binance News Today, December 4, 2025: Binance Junior Launch, Co‑CEO Shake-Up and BNB Price Forecast Toward $1,000+

Published: December 4, 2025

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume and users, is closing out the second day of Binance Blockchain Week Dubai 2025 with some of its biggest changes in years. On the same day that Binance Coin (BNB) trades around the mid‑$900s and flirts with a four‑figure breakout, the company is reshaping its leadership, launching a family‑focused savings app for kids, and tightening risk controls across its margin and futures products. ^[1]

Below is a full breakdown of the most important Binance news, forecasts and analyses as of December 4, 2025.

Key Takeaways

Leadership overhaul: Binance has appointed co‑founder Yi He as co‑CEO alongside Richard Teng, a move announced at Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai as the platform’s user base approaches 300 million accounts. ^[2]
Binance Junior launches: A new family‑finance app, Binance Junior, lets parents open crypto savings sub‑accounts for children aged 6–17, with strict controls and no trading — but the move is already sparking a heated industry debate over kids and crypto. ^[3]
BNB price today: BNB is trading around $910–$925, up more than 13% from an early‑December low near $800, and analysts are watching a double‑bottom and wedge breakout structure that could push prices toward $1,000–$1,150 in the coming weeks. ^[4]
Risk management & listings: Binance is delisting WAXP/BTC and VET/BTC from cross and isolated margin today and has scheduled the launch of BTC/USD and DYM/USDC spot pairs with trading bot support for December 4 at 16:00. ^[5]
Ecosystem expansion: New prediction‑market platform Predict.fun on BNB Chain and a “Predictions” feature in Trust Wallet are pushing on‑chain prediction markets further into the mainstream, reinforcing BNB’s narrative as a high‑utility ecosystem token. ^[6]

1. Leadership Shake-Up: Yi He Joins Richard Teng as Co‑CEO

On December 3, 2025, Binance announced that Yi He, the exchange’s co‑founder and long‑time head of marketing and venture arm YZi Labs, has been elevated to co‑CEO, sharing the top job with current CEO Richard Teng. ^[7]

According to reporting from Moneycontrol and other outlets:

The promotion was announced on stage at Binance Blockchain Week Dubai 2025, currently running at Dubai’s Coca‑Cola Arena. ^[8]
Binance’s global user base is “nearing 300 million,” underscoring just how large the platform has grown since its 2017 launch. ^[9]
Teng will continue to lead on regulation and governance, while Yi He is tasked with driving community growth, product innovation and Web3 infrastructure expansion. ^[10]

An analysis from AInvest frames the dual‑CEO structure as an attempt to balance rapid innovation with intensifying regulatory scrutiny after Binance’s high‑profile U.S. enforcement case and multibillion‑dollar settlement. ^[11]

That analysis highlights:

Pros:
- Clear split between a “builder” CEO (Yi He) and a “compliance” CEO (Teng).
- Signaling to regulators that governance and risk oversight are now central to Binance’s strategy. ^[12]
Risks:
- Potential for slower crisis response or fragmented decision‑making if co‑CEOs disagree.
- Need for very tight role definitions and coordination as Binance continues to face legal and regulatory challenges in multiple jurisdictions. ^[13]

Taken together, the leadership shift suggests Binance is locking in a two‑pillar model: one pillar focused on navigating global rules, the other pushing aggressively into new products, regions and on‑chain infrastructure.

2. Binance Junior: Family Finance Innovation or Risky Experiment?

The most emotionally charged Binance news today is the full unveiling of Binance Junior, a new crypto savings app for kids and teens.

What Binance Junior Is

Binance’s own product page describes Binance Junior as “the crypto app for families,” a sub‑account system for ages 6–17 where parents retain full control. Key design details: ^[14]

Age range:
- Primarily 6–17, with the option in some jurisdictions to extend coverage to “under 21” where adulthood is defined later. TechStock²+1
Sub‑account model:
- Children’s accounts live under a verified parent Binance account.
- Parents can create up to five Junior accounts. ^[15]
What kids can do:
- Hold crypto funded by their parents.
- Earn yield through Junior Flexible Simple Earn, depending on local regulations.
- Send crypto only to their parent or other Junior accounts, typically after age 13 and within daily transfer limits (media reports cite ~$400/day). ^[16]
What kids can’t do:
- No spot or derivatives trading.
- No on‑chain withdrawals from the app. ^[17]

Functionally, it behaves much more like a custodial savings account with gamified UI than a trading platform.

Why It’s Controversial

Coverage from Decrypt, TS2, CoinCentral and others all agree on one thing: Binance Junior is polarizing. ^[18]

Supporters say:

Early exposure to savings and budgeting tools can improve long‑term financial literacy.
Strict parental control, no trading, no leverage, and no on‑chain withdrawals significantly reduce the risk profile compared with a normal exchange account. ^[19]
Teaching kids about digital assets early could prepare them for a future where crypto is deeply integrated into mainstream finance. ^[20]

Critics counter that:

Even with guardrails, crypto is still highly volatile, and branding it as a family product may normalize speculative assets for impressionable users. TechStock²+1
Some commentators argue that Binance is effectively acquiring “customers for life”, introducing its brand and products before users reach adulthood. ^[21]
Consumer‑protection advocates worry about how well minors and parents truly understand the risks, especially in markets with less mature regulatory frameworks. TechStock²+1

Binance’s own risk warning for Binance Junior emphasizes that parents or legal guardians are solely responsible for all activity and losses, and that digital assets are not suitable for everyone. ^[22]

For now, Binance Junior is rolling out in select regions with age‑based restrictions by country, and availability may change as regulators react. ^[23]

3. BNB Price Today: Around $910 With Bulls Targeting $1,000

The launch of Binance Junior and the co‑CEO announcement come against the backdrop of a broadly bullish crypto market.

Market Context

Binance’s own Market Update for December 4 shows the global crypto market cap at $3.18 trillion, up roughly 1% over the past day. ^[24]
Bitcoin is trading just above $93,000, while Ethereum is pushing toward the $3,200 zone. ^[25]

Within that environment, BNB remains one of the standout large‑cap tokens:

Binance’s market update lists BNB at $910.41, up about 1.36% on the day. ^[26]
Coingape’s live statistics put BNB at $910.47, with a market cap of roughly $126.7 billion, about 4% dominance and a 30‑day range between $825 and $998. ^[27]
A separate analysis reposted by MEXC notes BNB trading near $925 with a 24‑hour gain around 4.8% but still down about 7% over the past 30 days, underscoring continued volatility. ^[28]

Technical Picture: Double Bottoms, 7‑Year Resistance and Key Levels

Multiple independent analyses converge on similar technical structures:

Double‑bottom & wedge breakout:
- Pintu and FXLeaders both identify a double bottom in the $800–$820 “demand zone” and a breakout from a falling wedge, classical bullish reversal patterns. ^[29]
Short‑term resistance:
- IG’s analysis points to resistance between roughly $906 and $950, aligned with prior swing highs and watched as the next key test for bulls. ^[30]
- FXLeaders highlights $900–$920 as neckline resistance; holding above this zone could confirm a more durable uptrend, while a drop back toward $860 would weaken the bull case. ^[31]
Support levels:
- IG flags $802–$792 and then the August low near $730 as deeper support if a bigger correction unfolds. ^[32]
- Blockchain.News’ forecast tracks $790–$800 as critical support; a break below would invalidate many of the near‑term bullish scenarios. ^[33]
Long‑term resistance channel:
- Coinpedia notes BNB is pressing against a 7‑year ascending channel resistance, touching this line for a sixth time — historically a zone where strong rallies have followed. Targets in a clean breakout range from $950–$1,000 initially to $1,150–$1,500 by mid‑2026 in a more aggressive scenario. ^[34]

In simple terms, BNB is in an uptrend but still fighting overhead resistance. So far, the market has treated dips into the low‑$800s as buying opportunities, but technicals suggest a battle between profit‑taking near $900–$950 and speculation on a new all‑time high run.

4. BNB Price Forecasts: From $1,000 to $1,500 – and Some Misses

Because of its link to Binance’s trading ecosystem and burn mechanisms, BNB price predictions tend to attract outsized attention. Today’s commentary spans a wide range of outlooks.

Short-Term (Next Few Weeks)

Several December 4 analyses focus on whether BNB can reclaim $1,000:

Pintu: sees a realistic path to $1,020–$1,115 in December, driven by the double‑bottom base, wedge breakout and potential short liquidations above current levels. ^[35]
FXLeaders: emphasizes three bullish signals — double bottom, neckline reclaim, and liquidation clusters near $1,020 — and frames a move to the $1,000 area as a key milestone, with $860 as an important downside level to hold. ^[36]
Blockchain.News: lays out a structured forecast:
- 1‑week target: $980–$1,020
- 1‑month target: $1,080–$1,150 (roughly +19–26% from today’s $910 zone) ^[37]

Algorithmic & Long-Term Models

On the more quantitative side:

Coingape’s model has BNB averaging about $1,400+ between early December 2025 and early January 2026, projecting a steady grind higher once the current consolidation resolves. ^[38]
A widely shared earlier forecast compiled on Binance Square using CoinCodex data projected $1,220+ for December 4, 2025, implying that BNB is actually trading below that prior target today — a reminder that even bullish models can overshoot. ^[39]
In contrast, Changelly’s longer‑term forecast, last updated earlier this year, expected BNB to average around $643in December 2025, with a maximum near $676 — a scenario that now looks far too conservative given current prices in the $900s. ^[40]

The divergence between these models highlights a key point for investors: BNB forecasts are highly path‑dependent, and models built before the most recent rally or regulatory resets can quickly become stale.

How Realistic Is $1,500?

Coinpedia’s multi‑stage roadmap outlines a path where a clean breakout above the long‑term channel sends BNB first toward $950–$1,000, then $1,150, and, with sustained volume and favorable macro conditions, toward $1,500 by mid‑2026. ^[41]

Whether that plays out will depend on:

Market‑wide risk appetite (Bitcoin above $90k helps, but a sharp correction would likely drag BNB down as well). ^[42]
Binance’s ability to maintain and grow spot and derivatives market share amid rising competition and regulation. ^[43]
Sustained growth in BNB Chain usage — especially if new products like Predict.fun gain traction and stablecoin activity continues to climb. ^[44]

5. Risk Management Moves: Margin Delistings and New Trading Pairs

Binance is also using December 4 to fine‑tune liquidity and leverage risk on its platform.

Margin Delistings

In a formal announcement, Binance confirmed that WAXP/BTC and VET/BTC are being delisted today from both cross and isolated margin: ^[45]

Cross Margin pairs: WAXP/BTC, VET/BTC
Isolated Margin pairs: WAXP/BTC, VET/BTC
At 06:00 UTC on December 4, Binance Margin:
- Closes open positions.
- Performs automatic settlements.
- Cancels all pending orders for these pairs.

Binance cites standard reasons — liquidity conditions and risk management — and strongly advises users to close positions ahead of the deadline to avoid forced settlement risk. ^[46]

New Spot Pairs and Bots

On the listings side, a separate notice via industry trackers states that:

Binance is launching BTC/USD and DYM/USDC spot trading pairs today at 16:00 (likely UTC), and
Trading bot services will be enabled for these pairs, with maker fee discounts on existing and new USDC spot and leveraged pairs. ^[47]

For professional traders, the message is mixed but clear:

Some long‑tail pairs are losing margin support as Binance concentrates liquidity.
At the same time, the exchange is expanding USD‑ and USDC‑based pairs and automation tools, aligning with the industry’s growing emphasis on stablecoin and dollar rails.

6. Regulation, Reputation and Global Expansion

Binance’s December 4 story can’t be separated from its broader 2025 regulatory journey.

From Crackdowns to Awards

In November, Regulation Asia named Binance “Digital Assets Exchange of the Year” for compliance and innovation, acknowledging its attempts to improve transparency, licensing and risk controls compared with the crisis years of 2021–2023. ^[48]

Other coverage this year has highlighted:

Registration and monitoring under national financial‑intelligence units, such as FIU‑IND in India, after earlier bans and restrictions. ^[49]
Strong scores in independent exchange benchmarks that rate Binance’s spot and derivatives platforms as top‑tierfor liquidity and market integrity (often “AA” or equivalent). ^[50]

At the same time, the AInvest analysis on today’s leadership change reminds readers that Binance is still operating in the shadow of a multi‑billion‑dollar U.S. settlement and continuing regulatory uncertainty in both the U.S. and Canada. ^[51]

SEC Tokenization Meeting Today

Binance News also amplified a reminder that the U.S. SEC Investor Advisory Committee is holding a public meeting today, December 4, 2025, to discuss: ^[52]

Corporate‑governance rules around tokenized equity securities.
How to disclose the impact of AI on issuers’ operations.

While not specific to Binance, any move toward clearer tokenization rules in the U.S. could materially affect BNB Chain projects, tokenized stock products and how centralized exchanges structure on‑chain equity offerings.

7. BNB Chain Ecosystem: Prediction Markets and Africa Expansion

BNB’s price is also being driven by developments in the wider BNB Chain and Binance ecosystem.

Predict.fun and Trust Wallet Predictions

Today, CoinEdition reports that CZ has introduced Predict.fun, a new platform on BNB Chain where users can: ^[53]

Make predictions on real‑world events (politics, sports, crypto, etc.).
Keep their collateral earning yield simultaneously.
Trade event outcomes via an order‑book model rather than simple “bets”.

The project is backed by YZi Labs — the venture arm led by Yi He — and is part of a cohort of 17 BNB Chain projects. Trust Wallet, which CZ also founded, has launched a “Predictions” hub that aggregates multiple prediction markets directly inside the wallet, starting with Myriad and planning support for Kalshi and Polymarket. ^[54]

Analysts see prediction markets as one of three key narratives surging this month, alongside AI‑linked tokens and real‑world asset (RWA) protocols, in Yahoo Finance’s December narrative recap. ^[55]

Africa and Emerging Markets

Although not a December‑4 headline, Binance’s October 2025 expansion to support local payment methods in 30+ African countries remains an important part of the 2025 picture:

The initiative focuses on local bank transfers, mobile money and card payments, aiming to lower barriers for small businesses and remittances. ^[56]
Recaps from Messari and other analytics platforms note that this push has helped sustain high spot volumes and elevated stablecoin activity on Binance, even as global exchange volumes have cooled. ^[57]

Together with BNB Chain’s expanding dApp ecosystem — from prediction markets to gaming and AI‑linked projects — these moves help underpin the fundamental demand case for BNB as gas, collateral and fee‑discount token.

8. What This Means for Traders and Investors

Putting it all together, here’s how today’s Binance news and BNB analysis stack up for different types of market participants.

For Short‑Term Traders

Momentum is bullish but fragile. BNB has rebounded strongly from the low‑$800s and is consolidating above $900, but resistance up to about $950 remains formidable. ^[58]
Key levels to watch:
- Upside: $950 → $1,000 → $1,080–$1,150 (short‑term analyst targets). ^[59]
- Downside: $860 (short‑term support), then $800–$790 and eventually $730. ^[60]
Event risk is elevated:
- Binance Junior backlash, new regulatory commentary from today’s SEC meeting, and any surprise announcements at Binance Blockchain Week Day 2 could quickly change sentiment. ^[61]

For Long‑Term Holders

Longer‑horizon investors are likely more focused on structural themes:

Governance & compliance trend: co‑CEO structure, awards for compliance and clearer licensing in multiple regions all point to a deliberate attempt to de‑risk the Binance brand relative to 2022–2023. ^[62]
Ecosystem stickiness: prediction markets, new payment corridors (e.g., Africa), stablecoin reserves and new family‑finance products all nudge users and capital deeper into the Binance/BNB orbit. ^[63]
Execution risk: regulatory fragmentation, potential co‑CEO coordination challenges, and reputational debates around products like Binance Junior could still create headwinds, especially if key regulators push back. ^[64]

In other words, BNB today is priced for optimism, but that optimism is closely tied to Binance’s ability to keep regulators onside while pushing into new, sometimes controversial product categories.
