亲爱的币安社区，
2023 年底，作为币安的新任首席执行官，以及全年致力于推进货币自由的众多币安人之一，我想与大家分享几点思考——毕竟，在我执掌币安的任期内，这个令人难以置信的组织从 11 月份才开始。 如果我必须用一句话来概括我的信息，那就是：当我们进入新的一年时，币安社区有充分的理由以乐观和希望的态度展望未来。
2023年，我们不仅保持了作为一家稳健企业和全球最具活力行业领导者的实力，而且还敢于拥抱变革，变得更加强大。
随着我们与美国监管机构
达成解决方案，美国历史问题的大部分阴云现在已经消散
。
币安拥有适当的文化、人才和专业知识，能够成为一家真正以合规为主导的组织，同时也是一家以用户为中心的组织，其结构和准备足以引领数字资产行业进入新时代。
有形信托
过去几周的情况表明，这一评估不仅仅是空话，我们的用户信任我们以及我们对未来的愿景。 在美国决议公布和币安领导层变动之后，净流入非常强劲，而新用户持续稳定涌入。 截至12月底，我们的注册用户已突破1.7亿大关，较去年增长30%。 行动胜于雄辩，当我们开启新篇章时，您的切实支持对我们来说意味着一切。
重要的是，我们看到来自机构投资者的资金流入特别强劲。 我之所以认为这是个好消息，是因为它表明机构对币安和更大的 Web3 生态系统的信任日益增强，而机构参与和明确的监管是数字资产大规模采用的关键。 今年，我们已经推出了令人兴奋的创新——例如，创新的
银行业三方协议
——为这一重要客户类别提供无与伦比的价值，明年我们还将推出更多创新。
开辟 Web3 道路
一如既往，我们最重要的承诺仍然是对我们的用户。 领导层或公司治理的任何变化都无法改变币安 DNA 的这一基本要素：构建和提供让人们生活更美好的产品的动力。 响应和预测用户需求使我们参与（并经常设定）塑造 2023 年数字资产领域的一些关键趋势。
Catering to the growing demand for more secure and accessible gateways into the world of Web3, we launched our Web3 wallet, which became an instant success with users. Responding to the trend toward a more compelling social Web3 experience, we revamped Binance Square, which grew its user base and the number of active creators manifold this year, and introduced social copy trading functionality.
In 2023, Binance recorded significant growth in our key services related to crypto payments, P2P trading, and earning, showcasing solid progress on the path to the mass adoption of digital assets. The number of active Binance Pay users grew by 70%; Binance’s P2P platform served 39% more users; Binance Earn helped 35% more people put their crypto to work. For a comprehensive overview of the numbers and metrics describing Binance’s performance in 2023, you can read our year-end report, fresh off the press.
Above all, we remained, and will always remain, laser-focused on the security of users and their funds. From cooperating with global law enforcement to tackle criminal activity in the digital asset space to running educational campaigns for users, from maintaining our SAFU fund (worth $1.2 billion as of the end of the year) to expanding the coverage of our proof-of-reserves system – security and transparency of your funds are Binance’s top priority.
We have many reasons to be kicking off the new year in high spirits. Binance is starting its new chapter in a strong financial position, and we have the trust of our amazing global community, which is rapidly expanding. This organization is built to last – not years, but decades. Of course, building the future of finance and advancing the freedom of money globally is a long and rocky path, but we are prepared for the thoughtful, iterative, incremental effort that it takes. With the unwavering support of the Binance community, we’ve proven that there are no challenges we can’t overcome.
As we forge ahead, we will balance our commitment to three key groups. Firstly, our most important stakeholders: our users. Secondly, global regulators, who will play an increasingly vital role in shaping the future of our industry and its ability to realize the tremendous potential of blockchain and digital assets. Finally, we will place heavy emphasis on forming and maintaining industry partnerships – we are all in the same boat, and building a stronger ecosystem is best achievable through coordination and cooperation of our efforts.
Finally, I would like to thank Binance’s incredibly resilient, hardcore, mission-driven team for everything we have achieved this year despite the tough headwinds. It is an honor to lead this uniquely diverse group of talented and dedicated professionals – and a great pleasure as well. I look forward to accomplishing even more alongside all of you in 2024 and beyond.
Happy New Year!
Richard Teng
