Is Binance in Trouble? CZ Says No, Highlights Recent Accomplishments

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, is addressing concerns related to the cryptocurrency exchange. Despite recent legal issues, the shutdown of fiat channels, and the departure of several executives, CZ asserts that Binance maintains its strength in liquidity and employee retention, even in these challenging market conditions.

Considering that Binance’s rumoured problems have had the community in a frenzy, CZ’s words could be quite reassuring. Here’s what he had to say.

Is Binance Facing Liquidity Problems?

On September 8, CZ took to Twitter to emphasize that Binance faces no liquidity problems. He reassured the community that all assets are securely reserved, and deposits and withdrawals are proceeding smoothly. 

He also assured users that customer funds are safeguarded, and the exchange maintains a 100% reserve, even in the face of negative news, rumors, and other challenges. Despite various legal challenges, no liquidity concerns have been reported by users.

Why is the Top Line Leaving?

The crypto community has expressed skepticism due to the departure of key executives. Notably, between July and September, more than ten high-ranking executives have left the company.

Among the departed executives were Patrick Hillmann, the former Chief Strategy Officer; Mayur Kamat, the former Product Lead; Leon Foong, the former Head of Asia-Pacific; General Counsel Han Ng; Steven Christie, the former Senior Vice President for Compliance; and Matthew Price, who served as the Global Head of intelligence and Investigations at the exchange.

In early July, four executives resigned from Binance, with some attributing their departure to Binance’s response to an investigation by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). However, CZ, the CEO of Binance, denied these claims and labeled them as FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt).

Recent reports have revealed that four additional executives have announced their resignations. It has been observed that CZ has acknowledged the transition of many former members into more prominent positions both within and outside the exchange.

Be Rest Assured – All Is Well?

In response to concerns about the recent departures, CZ emphasized that Binance takes pride in having the lowest “founding team turnover among tech startups of similar scale and age worldwide.” He confidently restated Binance’s resilience and unwavering commitment towards growth.

In addition, CZ highlighted re­cent achieveme­nts in the cryptocurrency industry. These accomplishments encompassed the introduction of new fiat channels and products, attracting fresh tale­nt, exploring uncharted markets, and se­curing significant legal victories for Ripple and Grayscale­ in their battles against the SEC.
