Crypto For Kids: Binance Unveils Parent-Controlled Junior Saving App For Ages 6 To 17
Binance has launched Binance Junior, a crypto savings app for children aged 6 to 17, offering parental supervision, restricted transfers and education tools to build early financial literacy.
Binance is taking a bold step into family finance with the rollout of Binance Junior, a new app designed to let children and teens build crypto savings under full parental supervision. The platform targets users aged 6 to 17, allowing parents to create sub-accounts that help young users develop saving habits in a digital-first world where crypto continues to move closer to mainstream finance.
The company says the offering is designed as a long-term financial literacy tool rather than a trading product. Kids can earn on their holdings through Flexible Simple Earn, but activities related to trading and unrestricted transfers are blocked to ensure safety and compliance.
Parent-Led Setup and Strict Controls
Parents can deposit funds into a Binance Junior account through their own master wallet or via on-chain transfers. All movement inside the account triggers alerts, and parents can freeze or delete access instantly if needed. Transfers to non-parent adults are restricted, and users aged 13 or above can initiate transfers only within permitted limits and rules based on regional regulatory requirements.
While crypto adoption has seen rapid growth among young adults globally, Binance appears to be positioning this feature as an education-first experience rather than a gateway to speculation. The company describes the platform as a way to build responsible habits early rather than a tool for investment risk-taking.
Binance Frames It as a Family Finance Milestone
Yi He, Binance Co-Founder, framed the launch as a generational investment. "As parents who love our children, we not only nurture them in their early development but long-term growth with responsibility and wisdom—helping their ability to face real life challenges independently where financial health and literacy are key to preparing them for the future, especially as money is evolving." She added, "Today, parents can take the first steps to prepare for their children's financial future and equip them for the future financial landscape. Binance Junior is a family finance initiative that helps parents build crypto wealth and savings for their children and encourages them to teach and practice healthy financial habits for the next generation into adulthood."
Education Materials Included
Alongside the app, Binance has also released an illustrated book called "ABC's of Crypto", aimed at making complex concepts like blockchain and security digestible for children and beginners. The company says it was created to make crypto education “as easy as ABC,” supporting families learning together.
Phased Launch in Select Regions
Binance Junior will initially roll out in select markets and is accessible through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The company has not confirmed global rollout timelines but says expansion will continue based on regulatory approvals.
With financial literacy among younger users increasingly becoming a global priority, Binance is openly testing whether crypto can be introduced early in a structured, controlled environment while positioning itself as a first mover in the family-focused digital finance space.
