1 / Regulatory Plans: Importance of India

The recent regulatory approval in India marks Binance's 19th globally. Can you explain the significance of this milestone for Binance and the crypto industry?

Richard Teng: "We are very proud to have successfully received our 19th global regulatory approval in India. This registration recognizes and underscores Binance's commitment to working with global regulators to support the adoption of cryptocurrencies worldwide. India is a vibrant market, which ranks among the top five in the world in terms of transaction volume on both centralized and decentralized exchanges.Receiving this approval underscores our utmost commitment to providing the most reliable platform for our users worldwide and emphasizes the importance of working with local communities and politicians to promoting the development of the Web3 ecosystem in India".

2 / Volatility of the cryptocurrency market

Given the inherent volatility of cryptocurrency markets, what advice would you give users to stay confident and calm during turbulent times?

Richard Teng: "It's important to have a broader perspective. Volatility is not limited to the cryptocurrency markets. All asset classes experience fluctuations at some point. For those new to cryptocurrency, these sudden changes can be worrisome. However, it's important to remember that markets go through cycles, and cyclical the nature of the markets, in particular cryptocurrencies, is evolving and the capitalization is growing. We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of cryptocurrencies. We are committed to building a sustainable ecosystem and platform to serve our users." 

3 / The future adoption of cryptocurrencies

Looking ahead, what key developments or changes do you think are necessary for the industry to achieve mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?

Richard Teng: "There are several factors. Regulatory clarity and harmonization are extremely important. About a third of the world's regulators are beginning to regulate cryptocurrency, but with different approaches. These inconsistencies create challenges for global platforms like ours. We need a unified regulatory framework similar to banking and securities to simplify global deployment and ensure consistency in user protection.

"Institutional acceptance is another important factor. This brings new users and liquidity to the market. Unlike ETFs, which only trade during limited hours, our platform provides access to trading 24/7, offering flexibility in risk management and opening positions. However , in order to achieve mass adoption, we must continue to raise cryptocurrency education and awareness among all stakeholders around the world. This includes our users, in whom we invest heavily through initiatives such as Binance Academy."

As the crypto industry evolves rapidly, how does Binance stay ahead and adapt its products to meet the changing needs of users?

For example, this year alone, by mid-August, we received nearly 32,000 offers from our users. We carefully consider this feedback, to understand what our users want and implement these improvements early.Smaller changes can be rolled out quickly, while more significant updates are developed and released as they become available. 

"Additionally, our robust hiring strategy demonstrates our growth and bullish position in the crypto industry. Binance has hired more than 1,000 new employees this year, and 500 more roles are currently available across various departments, including front-end positions, product development, technical operations, compliance, risk management , Legal and Customer Support This balanced approach to hiring, such as 10% senior, 50% mid-level and 40% junior positions, ensures we have the talent we need to support the continued growth of the entire industry and Binance".
