Changpeng ‘CZ' Zhao, co-founder and CEO of Binance, has dispelled recent rumors about his company, affirming that its balance sheet and employee retention remain robust despite recent market volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Sept. 7 post on X (Twitter), the CEO of Binance blamed negative news, rumors, bank runs, lawsuits, the closing of fiat channels, product wind-downs, and employee turnovers for creating an environment of FUD (fear, ambiguity, and doubt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Saw some debates in the community. When you do the right thing, and there is FUD, you don't have to do anything. The community defends you.

Let me summarize. There have been a lot of negative news\/rumors, bank runs, lawsuits, closing of fiat channels, product wind downs,\u2026<\/p>— CZ \ud83d\udd36 BNB (@cz_binance) September 7, 2023\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

He then took advantage of the occasion to elaborate on Binance's current financial situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cGuess what we don't have? No liquidity issues,\u201d CZ emphasized. \u201cAll withdrawals (and deposits) are properly handled. All customer funds are #SAFU, and 100% reserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Observers have noted, however, that at least ten Binance executives resigned between July and September, including Patrick Hillmann, the former chief strategy officer; Mayur Kamat, the former product lead; Leon Foong, the former head of Asia-Pacific, and Steven Christie, the former senior vice president of compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, CZ explained in July that employee turnover<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> is a reality for all businesses, particularly those operating in a swiftly changing environment such as the cryptocurrency industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Binance General Counsel, Chief Strategy Officer, and SVP of compliance all resign in the same week*

In a recent blog post, CZ stated that Binding “probably has the lowest founding team turnover of any tech company of our size and age worldwide.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, the CEO of Binance cited recent successes in the cryptocurrency industry, including the launch of new fiat channels and products, new hires, and new markets, as well as victories in court, including Ripple and Grayscale<\/a> Investment's victories against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
