Introducing Buddy, a blog focusing on understanding the world of cannabis; it’s use, it’s importance and it’s future. FOLLOW ME IF YOU LOVE CANNABIS! 😌🍃💨
Hey @cz_binance and @GiggleAcademy,
We created a short superhero comic story featuring CZ as “Binanceman,” the hero who builds Giggle Academy. In the story, CZ is not only a legend in the crypto industry but also a real-life champion for millions of children who couldn’t afford an education.
If you enjoy this little story, we’d love to expand it and even turn it into a printed comic book. We could sell the books and donate 100% of the proceeds to the Giggle Academy charity.
We’d also like to share the comic on the @GiggleAcademy account, but we’re not sure how to do that. Would you be open to helping us post it?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and please have a look at this thread.

Binance and CZ: Putting Users First in Crypto Security and Trust
In the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency, trust is everything. Under the leadership of founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and the continued focus of the Binance team, the world’s largest exchange has built a reputation for prioritizing user protection through robust security, transparency, and emergency safeguards.
How Binance and CZ Protect Users
Binance stores the vast majority of user funds in offline cold storage, minimizing exposure to online threats. Real-time monitoring, AI-powered fraud detection, risk-scoring systems, and strong account protections (such as 2FA and anti-phishing measures) work around the clock to detect and prevent issues.
A cornerstone of this approach is the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), an emergency insurance-style fund created in 2018 and funded in part by trading fees. As of 2026, SAFU holds approximately $1 billion (primarily in Bitcoin), ready to help compensate users in the event of certain platform-level incidents.
Transparency further strengthens confidence. Binance regularly publishes Proof of Reserves reports showing that major assets (including BTC and ETH) are backed at over 100%, for example, ratios of 100.25% for Bitcoin and Ethereum in recent 2026 reports.
These measures reflect CZ’s long-standing emphasis on building a secure, user-centric platform that can scale responsibly while expanding into new areas like tokenized real-world assets.
Market Leadership by the Numbers
Binance’s focus on security and reliability has helped drive impressive scale:
Users: 323 million registered users globally (as of mid-2026), representing roughly 43% of all crypto holders worldwide.
Trading volume: Consistently the market leader. Recent figures show spot market share around 36–46% (e.g., 45.8% in July 2026) and strong derivatives shares in the mid-30% range. All-time cumulative volume exceeds $156 trillion.
bStocks (tokenized stocks): Binance’s bStocks product has rapidly captured ~22–27% of the global tokenized equity market capitalization and dominated related TradFi trading volume on centralized exchanges (58.9% share in H1 2026 among major platforms).
BNB Chain activity: BNB Chain ranks among the top chains by activity, holding the #2 spot by DeFi TVL at approximately $4.9 billion (behind Ethereum). It frequently leads in daily active addresses (around 2 million+) and processes high volumes of transactions, supporting retail and DeFi usage with low fees.
Binance also maintains substantial reserves (recently reported in the $140–150+ billion range), reinforcing its capacity to support users at scale.
By combining industry-leading security practices, a dedicated emergency fund, transparent reserves, and relentless product innovation, Binance and CZ continue to demonstrate that protecting users is foundational to long-term growth in crypto. In an industry still maturing, this commitment helps millions of people access digital assets with greater confidence.
Binanceman is here to save us all.
Stay Safu!
