The BTCC BeInCrypto award for Best Centralized Exchange, Community Choice, was announced during a live virtual ceremony on December 10, 2025, as part of The BeInCrypto 100 Awards 2025. BTCC received the highest number of votes from global cryptocurrency users in the Best Centralized Exchanges category, organized by BeInCrypto in partnership with Binance Square.
What the BTCC BeInCrypto Award Actually Recognizes
Unlike editorially judged categories, the Community Choice award is decided entirely by public vote from global cryptocurrency users, making it a direct measure of user sentiment rather than a panel's technical assessment. Aaryn Ling, Head of Branding at BTCC, called the win "incredibly meaningful," stating it reflects the trust that BTCC's 10 million users place in the exchange every day and validates 14 years of commitment to transparency, security, and community focus.
The Operational Numbers Behind the Award
BTCC's recognition arrived alongside strong 2025 operational metrics: the platform now offers over 400 futures trading pairs and more than 460 spot trading pairs for its 10 million-plus global users. In Q3 2025 alone, BTCC recorded $1.15 trillion in combined futures and spot trading volume, representing 20% quarter-over-quarter growth.
A 14-Year Security Track Record
Since its founding in 2011, BTCC has maintained what it describes as a zero-incident security record, with no security breaches over 14 years of operation. In an industry where exchange hacks and fund losses remain common, a clean multi-year security history is a distinct competitive claim, and one that plausibly contributed to community trust reflected in this vote.
Part of a Broader Year of Recognition
The BeInCrypto award caps a year that also saw BTCC earn triple honors from FXEmpire in 2025, recognized as the Lowest Fee Crypto Exchange, Best Fiat-to-Crypto Trading Platform, and Best Crypto Exchange in the USA. BTCC's growing mainstream visibility is further reflected in its ambassador partnership with NBA All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr.
What BTCC Announced Alongside the Win
To mark the milestone, BTCC launched a flagship trading competition with a 10 million USDT prize pool, one of the largest reward pools offered by any exchange in recent industry history, alongside a smaller community giveaway of 1,000 USDT split across 10 winners. Looking ahead to 2026, BTCC stated plans to expand its spot and futures offerings and introduce new platform features.
The award recognition followed closely behind BTCC's TradingView integration launch, giving the exchange two significant announcements within the same week.
