Binance Enhances ‘Binance Junior’ with New Features to Boost Family Crypto Savings and Learning

Introducing festive Red Packet gifting, Merchant Pay, and integrated educational tools to nurture financial literacy for kids and teens under parental supervision.

24th February 2026, Mumbai, India - Following the successful launch of Binance Junior in December 2025, Binance is pleased to introduce exciting new features aimed at making saving and learning about crypto even more engaging and accessible for families. Designed for kids and teens aged 6 to 17, Binance Junior already provides a secure, parent-controlled platform that encourages positive savings habits and financial literacy from an early age.

The latest updates introduce a Red Packet gifting feature, Merchant Pay options, and seamless integration of the educational “ABCs of Crypto” eBook directly within the Binance Junior app. These enhancements create a richer, more interactive experience for families to explore the world of digital assets together.

Binance Junior empowers parents to safely guide their children through the world of digital assets. Parents maintain full control, with the ability to enable or disable selected features and monitor all account activity through an easy-to-use interface. These new features further strengthen that foundation by allowing children, with parental approval, to receive crypto gifts, make approved payments, and access educational content that demystifies crypto in a fun and approachable way.

As part of this expansion, parents can now enable non-parental transfers from adult Binance accounts to Junior accounts. This includes Red Packet gifting and regular peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, allowing relatives and family friends to send crypto gifts to their children’s Binance Junior accounts. To ensure security and responsible use, receipt limits are capped at an annual threshold of USD 12,000 for both crypto transfers and Red Packet gifts. Once this limit is reached, Junior accounts will no longer be able to accept additional crypto transfers until the next cycle. Parents retain full control to activate or deactivate these features, so families can tailor usage according to their comfort level.

Beyond that, the new Merchant Pay feature enables Junior users to make payments at selected merchants, while excluding restricted merchant category codes such as gambling and tobacco. This family-friendly approach helps teach responsible spending and saving, giving children practical experience managing digital finances in a safe environment.
