在政治上，新当选领导人上任的前 100 天被视为衡量其有效治理、实施改革和兑现竞选承诺的能力的标准。

领导一个国家和世界上最大的数字资产生态系统之间的类比当然是不完美的。

尽管如此，有人可能会说，加密货币的发展速度比大多数传统系统都要快，这意味着这里的领导人上任的前 100 天可能比同期的政治更具吸引力。

尽管如此，领导层变动后的最初几周和几个月对于一个系统或组织来说至关重要，而我的前一百天确实带来了足够的发展和进步，以保证他们的评估。

自从担任首席执行官以来，我把确保和维护币安在整个业务中以用户为中心的原则作为首要任务，重点是确保稳定性。

从这个意义上说，不需要进行彻底的改革，因为在许多方面，我们的组织已经走在正确的道路上。

事实上，我们以用户为中心的 DNA 仍然是对币安的信任以及我们的用户群相应增长背后的驱动力，截至目前，我们的注册用户已超过 1.78 亿。

此外，自与美国监管机构达成和解以来，我们继续展现出非常强劲的财务业绩。

据彭博社根据 DefiLlama 数据报道，从去年 11 月底到今年 2 月底，我们录得净流入超过 30 亿美元，超过了我们最大竞争对手同期的净流入。

仅在 1 月份，我们的平台就吸引了至少自 2022 年 11 月以来最大的资金流入。当然，我们要感谢有利的外部条件，现货 BTC 交易所交易产品在美国获得批准，为加密货币市场的强劲势头做出了贡献。

但即使在这种背景下，币安在过去三个月的出色表现仍然引人注目。

这些早期的成功之所以成为可能，是因为我们充满活力的团队的辛勤工作，我们深厚的全球领导者团队为组织的长期发展奠定了基础，以及我们令人难以置信的全球社区的持续信任和支持。

创造价值的产品

我认为推动产品创新为用户创造价值是币安工作的本质。

我很高兴地说，在我上任的前 100 天里，我们为零售和机构用户推出了许多令人兴奋的功能。

Continuing our focus on simplifying access to the exciting world of Web3, we’re introducing a slew of new features for Binance Web3 Wallet. This includes support for new chains, enhanced exchange options, and access to more DEXs and bridges. In response to popular demand, we also launched the Binance Inscription Marketplace, integrated with our Web3 wallet to provide the crypto community with a user-friendly way to trade and mint a range of Inscription tokens.

To further make crypto trading more social, we have made improvements to Binance’s copy trading functionality, specifically introducing the simulated copy trading feature. This educational tool allows users to practice and learn using virtual test funds in a risk-free environment.

On the institutional side, Binance successfully launched and executed the crypto industry’s first bank tripartite agreement, whereby institutional investors’ trading collateral is held in fiat currency with a third-party banking partner. This is an innovative risk management solution that addresses counterparty risk, an issue that is taken very seriously by institutional investors in the industry. It replicates a framework commonly seen in traditional financial markets, allowing investors to better manage risk and expand their crypto asset allocations. We have also made great progress in our institutional lending business, with our fixed-maturity loan financing and liquidity capabilities increasing.

As the digital asset space welcomes an increasing number of institutional investors, including those new to the asset class, our goal remains to facilitate their entry into the industry and provide the range and quality of services that will keep them here long-term. it's here.

Our latest move aims to demonstrate this commitment by expanding the entry requirements for our VIP program to include trading volume on legacy platforms – another industry first. Historically, high-volume investors have been able to apply for Binance VIP status based on their trading volume on other crypto exchanges. Recent changes to Binance’s VIP invitation program mean investors can now apply for Binance’s VIP status using their combined spot or futures trading volume across crypto and traditional venues, making it even easier for institutional clients to start their crypto journey with us .

Regulation that promotes innovation

While many of crypto’s earliest advocates were staunchly opposed to regulation, as the industry evolves, it’s important to acknowledge that regulation is an integral part of the lifecycle of any innovative industry. The foundation of a strong regulatory framework must be built on the fundamental principles of maximizing user protection while fostering a safe and sustainable ecosystem that can develop responsibly. I believe that users are the ultimate beneficiaries of our diligent regulatory compliance efforts, as they can enjoy the security and stability of a well-regulated digital asset ecosystem.

Over the past three months, we have made significant progress in licensing and authorization negotiations. We are also further engaging in dialogue with regulators and industry stakeholders around the world to enhance cooperation and coordination on the path to sustainable growth for the crypto industry. One result of this work is that in January this year, Gulf Binance—Thailand’s exchange and brokerage platform, a joint venture between Binance and Gulf Innova—successfully launched full operations, extending access to digital assets to Potentially millions of Thai crypto users and crypto curious people.

In addition, in accordance with the user-centered principle, we have strengthened our efforts to strengthen data security and management. Completion of a comprehensive and independent SOC 2 Type II compliance audit confirmed that Binance’s global platform effectively operates the design and implementation of controls in terms of system protection and data security. We also launched a dedicated Binance Privacy Portal to better communicate with users about their data rights and provide them with the tools to exercise these rights.

We are seeing a significant decline in crypto crime metrics in 2023, and I am convinced that Binance’s continued efforts to strengthen our compliance program and strengthen cooperation with global criminals have contributed to this industry trend. Building strong partnerships with law enforcement remains a top priority throughout my first 100 days in office, reflecting Binance’s collaborative and proactive approach to strengthening the security of the crypto ecosystem. Notable activities during this period included training sessions with INTERPOL officers and contributing to the Hong Kong Police Force’s Advanced Commercial Crime Course. As always, we continue to assist authorities by providing critical intelligence in ongoing investigations.

To further strengthen our compliance capabilities, we welcome back world-class compliance expert Steve Christie as our new Deputy Chief Compliance Officer. We continually enhance the capabilities of our compliance team by hiring leading professionals in their fields.

personal journey

Since I became CEO, one of the things I’ve started to do more of is meet face-to-face with members of the Binance community. This is perhaps the most rewarding part of the job – talking to people whose lives have measurably improved as a result of our efforts, as have many of the first-hand experiences shared with me by those who previously had little access to financial services. They only tasted financial freedom on Binance. These personal stories, and the constant support that comes with them, are heartwarming and deeply inspiring.

As a new CEO, I also met with hundreds of amazing professionals across the company. Talking to them and getting to know them made me even more convinced of the power of our decentralized, horizontally structured team. Over the first three months, I observed in detail how the robustness and depth of our talent pool translated into success across the organization through collaborative team efforts.

Finally, as our work in building partnerships and lateral connections in the industry increased, I connected with many colleagues from all corners of the Web3 space. I’m pleased to hear a lot of good things from both investors and project teams about Binance Launchpad and how it connects new promising blockchain businesses with crypto-savvy investors. All in all, one of the most gratifying discoveries during the first 100 days is that the role of Binance CEO brings many opportunities to build new personal and professional relationships.

Don't take success for granted

There is no doubt that my first 100 days at Binance have been an exciting new period in the history of the crypto industry. What we have accomplished during this time is the result of the hard work of everyone at Binance, from co-founders to customer service agents, and the support and trust of our vibrant and passionate community.

Nonetheless, we are still in the early stages of a new era in the crypto industry, and there will be many more ups and downs on the path to financial freedom we are committed to advancing. I am determined to continue building an organization that thrives during periods of rapid growth and remains robust and resilient under less favorable conditions over the next 100 weeks, 100 months and 100 years. I know that the only way to achieve this is to focus on users, prioritize their needs, and continue to improve for them. This is Binance’s future plan.
