According to the open letter "2022, Resilience is King" released by Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance now has 7,500 employees from more than 100 countries and is currently providing services to more than 120 million users worldwide. As of the end of 2022, Binance has obtained registration permits or licenses in 14 countries or regions on five continents, including Colombia, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, South Africa, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Australia and New Zealand. In 2022, Binance's compliance team also expanded from 500 to 750 people.
CZ also said that in the coming year, Binance will focus on building practical tools, continuing to expand the team, and providing support for promising projects.
Zhao Changpeng said: "In my opinion, the impact of the FTX incident will take a long time for the industry to digest and process. A lot of effort is needed to make everyone realize that the success or failure of the blockchain field is not determined by a few negative cases. The most important thing for the entire ecosystem at present is to protect users, while innovating and building, so that crypto assets and Web3 can enter more people's lives. I think infrastructure and data tools will continue to develop, Web3 asset ownership will evolve, and non-custodial and multi-chain wallets will rise. I think the next bull market will come from innovations in product use and creating unique usability."
