感谢同行不眠不休关注我们的产品，不管在安全和产品还是CZ的私人生活上操碎了心，你们的360环评是我们持续迭代的动力，希望你们关心自己的用户像关心币安一样。 对于这位在使用2个独立App转错币的用户遇到问题，于法我们确实没有办法从别人账号直接划款，于情我个人会补贴这份用户打错币的损失。我们会像你在乎币安一样在乎我们的用户。 因为历史合规原因币安有三个本地站点完全独立开发，产品架构和业务形态和币安主站不同，主营本地法币交易。但为了避免类似的情况再出现，下一步我们会在币安支付转账加三次确认。每一次公开的讨论都是我们成功的阶梯，欢迎大家在评论区提出有效的产品建议，我会让产品在评论区选出最好的10个产品建议，每人奖励1BNB，为期一周。

A frequent conversation I have with industry folks is that every crypto cycle often includes the collapse of a massive brand. The joke is that there needs to be a sacrifice to the volatility gods before the next bull cycle can occur. In the 2012 cycle, it was MtGOX after their infamous $300M hack. In the 2016 cycle, it was Coincheck (a $550M hack) ... ironically also a Japanese exchange. (You'd think they'd have learned a few lessons from GOX by then.) In the 2020 cycle, it was of course FTX ... which was not a hack, but $8B in losses due to a different form of financial crime. In the 2024 cycle, I initially thought it was the Bybit hack in 2025 ($1.5B) but this new Binance hack ($6B) dwarfs that. Their initial position was that they could cover all the losses, and the community has been weirdly dismissive of the hack because of how much it's grown to trust the Binance brand. I'm not saying that Binance will be the sacrificial lamb for this cycle. I have much less insider knowledge nowadays than I used to because I'm deliberately staying away from the exchange industry. But damn, that would be the kind of deep bear catalyst that would shake the foundations of the crypto industry down to its very core. In my mind the only things left that could trigger that level of despair would be the collapse of either Binance or Strategy, and neither of them feel particularly anti-fragile right now.

After five years as CFO of Binance, I have decided to go build something of my own. The past ten years in the digital asset exchange space have felt surprisingly short, because I enjoyed what I was doing. Having passion for what you do is so important, and I will come back to this point.  8am to 2am became a work habit. When I felt exhausted past midnight, I would just look up at the Kobe Bryant's statue standing in the corner of my office, and go right back to the grind! It has been the privilege of my career to help steward the finances of the world's largest digital asset exchange through a period that tested our industry in every way: bull and bear cycles, Operation Choke Point 2.0, and a regulatory landscape that evolved as quickly as the technology itself. Finance is seldom the loudest function in a company, but it is where trust is earned. Over these five years, we transformed Finance from a pure back-office function into one that consistently generates new ideas and revenue opportunities for the company. We became amazing problem solvers.  Finance understood the products and metrics as well as the business units themselves.  Proud of what we have built together, and I am pleased to hand the keys to Justin, our next CFO. I want to take this opportunity to thank CZ, Yi, Richard, and the leadership team for their confidence and, above all, the amazing Binancians around the world whom I had the honor of working with. You are the reason the company stands where it does today. Binance is in very capable hands. The company continues to grow and evolve with the successful launch of TradFi assets and AI-powered user interfaces. I’d like to express my gratitude to MGX for the trust; to our home regulator Abu Dhabi Global Market and all regulators we work closely with; and to our business partners, including BlackRock, Circle, Franklin Templeton, Mastercard, our banking partners and payment channels, as well as our advisors and auditors. Special thanks to Grant Thornton Singapore and everyone who has supported Binance. As for what comes next, well, there isn't just one project but several that I am passionate about particularly in sports and entertainment, from basketball and music, to GPUs, robotics, gold and collectibles. Bringing these real-world assets onto the blockchain through tokenization is a massive opportunity for the industry, and a big unlock for everyone.  I welcome anyone with a passion in these areas to message me and potentially join my team.  Even better if you love Kobe ;) Moving from the CFO's chair to the founder's is a leap, and I take it with humility. I deeply believe it is where I can make a greater contribution to AI and Web3. For now, thank you, Binance, for five remarkable years.

I can confidently say that humans were not very good at writing secure infrastructure. The endstate will be hypersecure infrastructure and software for all, but we're going to go through some turbulence before we reach that.
