Binance in celebration of reaching a remarkable milestone of 200 million users, hosted a live AMA session with Richard Teng, the current CEO. The event provided an opportunity for users to engage directly with Teng and gain insights into the platform’s future plans and ongoing developments.

Held under strict guidelines, the session specifically avoided discussions on new tokens and price predictions, ensuring a focus on broader strategic and operational topics. Despite these limitations, the live AMA successfully addressed a wide range of user questions, demonstrating Binance’s commitment to transparency and community engagement.

Binance Growth Milestones & Regulatory Challenges

Richard Teng started by expressing gratitude to every user of the leading exchange Binance, acknowledging their role in achieving this milestone.

Notably, Teng addressed the issue with Nigeria, where many products are now unavailable for Nigerian Binance users, such as P2P and the browser or desktop Binance site, as well as some referral campaigns. He stated that Nigeria is important to them, and they want to find a way to settle the crisis and strike a balance with the Nigerian government. Teng also discussed Tigran Gambaryan’s case dynamics, expressing hope for a fruitful outcome and prioritizing Gambaryan’s reunification with his family.
