Binance CEO reflects as exchange turns 6 — ‘It was never all smooth sailing’

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao Highlights Major Trends in Crypto

The impact of cryptocurrency on the financial sector is one that Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has gone out of his way to fairly reflect on. As Binance celebrated its sixth anniversary, the executive wrote a letter addressed to the exchange’s users. Within it, he noted several challenges in 2018 and 2022 – and even the exchanges failed investments into FTX and Terra Classic that cost them $3 million. But he’s sought to remain bullish regarding the industry, recently noting how decentralization and decentralized financing (DeFi) will continue to captivate and increase its user base. Now, Zhao’s written about how traditional finance occupying the space is really expediting institutional acceptance of cryptos such as Bitcoin – and even how regulators are increasingly getting to take charge of the space and its offerings. More importantly though, he’s noted that with technology advancing, countries will have a tremendous opportunity to gain the long-term advantages, and will open more boundaries to investment opportunities.
