Although it has maintained its position as one of the most valued exchanges in the world, recent developments have stirred criticism amongst users. Despite the ongoing chaos, its newest CEO is laying down its long-term plans.
In an official announcement, Richard Teng, the new CEO of Binance, addressed ongoing user concerns while detailing his plans for the network, along with its strategy to sustain innovation at a global scale.
Recall that CZ announced that he was stepping down as the CEO of Binance after striking a plea deal with U.S. regulators. Following his exit from the exchange, Teng picked up the baton and has since spearheaded a fresh narrative for the company.
Delivering excellent products through innovation and exceeding the expectations of all stakeholders is at the core of its mission. With three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he is convinced that he can tackle the unique challenges and opportunities our industry presents.
Addressing user needs, Teng stressed that he is committed to strengthening security. He added that the 1:1 backing for every user asset must be maintained.
  
He is further quoted saying the following;
“From our proof-of-reserves system, which we have continuously improved since it was first implemented more than 12 months ago, to our Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) emergency fund, we are committed to ensuring you feel secure in the integrity of our platform.”
Speaking on the future of Binance, Teng has no desire to change existing structures. He maintains that expanding on already existing structures is still the most beneficial. Opening up to the possibilities blockchain promises will increase financial inclusion, cross-border remittances, and reduced transaction costs.
Decentralization will remain at the heart of the exchange’s value. Teng’s strategy is to empower users to have more control over their data and to foster innovation through decentralized applications.
“To that end, I intend to drive growth and the adoption of Web3, continuing efforts to build an ecosystem that provides access to world-changing financial technologies.” He asserted.
Teng’s entrance into the Binance community has received mixed reactions from community members and onlookers in general. While some market players are convinced that the new Binance leader can strengthen its pillars, others are sceptical about his experience and credibility.
