What the chart shows

Binance first appears in 2017, around its founding, and totals 4,852 lifetime mentions. The curve peaks in October 2022 with 573 mentions, coinciding with its brief move to acquire FTX during that exchange’s collapse.

Top threads track exchange turmoil and regulation: the FTX acquisition attempt, a temporary pause of Bitcoin withdrawals, a UK regulatory clampdown, and later a presidential pardon of its convicted founder. The term stayed active through 2026.
