After watching Trust Wallet grow from ~500K downloads in 2018 to 220M+ reported by 2026:
Do you think the next 500M crypto users will prefer exchanges, self-custody or use both?
We researched the full story.
BINANCEMAN explains ↓ https://t.co/PqR09AHr5J
Like CZ once said:
"The best opportunity was yesterday, the next best one is today. Keep building."
One detail from CZ’s All-In interview stuck with me.
He talked about getting his first job at McDonald’s as a teenager and a week later, he was flipping burgers.
No Binance. No Bitcoin. No master plan. Just a kid earning his first paycheck and figuring life out one step at a time.
So I turned that chapter into a 5-page Binanceman comic (see thread).
@cz_binance, if this reaches you, did we capture that part of your story right? 😄
What should be the next topic?
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.

Nowadays, crypto hackers are more active than ever, and countless wallets are getting compromised. Far too many people are losing their crypto and their life savings.
Back in 2020, @cz_binance wrote a clear, practical article on how to keep your crypto SAFU.

It’s still one of the best reads on the topic. Highly recommend checking it out.
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!
Dear Changpeng Zhao (CZ),
I am writing this letter to express my deep appreciation for everything you have done for the cryptocurrency industry, for @binance, and for @BNBCHAIN.
When the crypto world was still young and uncertain, you built Binance from the ground up into the most powerful exchange on the planet. You opened the doors of digital finance to millions of people who had never touched crypto before. Through relentless innovation, accessibility, and sheer determination, you turned Binance into a global force that gave ordinary users the tools, liquidity, and freedom that traditional finance never offered.
The creation and growth of BNB Chain stands as another monumental achievement. You didn’t just launch another blockchain, you built a high-performance, low-cost ecosystem that empowered developers, DeFi pioneers, NFT creators, and everyday users to build and experiment without barriers. BNB Chain became a thriving city of innovation, and that city exists because of the vision and execution you provided.
In many ways, your story reminds me of a superhero. Just as Spider-Man swings through the city, protecting people with courage, responsibility, and unbreakable resolve, you have protected and expanded the crypto community against storms of doubt, market crashes, and external pressures. Where Spider-Man has his web-slingers and spider-sense, you have your vision, your community, and your unwavering belief in decentralization.
That is why, in the hearts of many, you will always be known as 𝗕𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻, the hero who swung higher, built stronger, and never stopped fighting for the future of crypto.
Thank you, @cz_binance, for the risks you took, the barriers you broke, and the ecosystem you helped create. The crypto industry is larger, stronger, and more open because of you. Binance and BNB Chain stand as living proof of what one determined visionary can achieve.
With genuine respect and gratitude,
A grateful member of the crypto community
亲爱的赵长鹏(CZ):
我写这封信,是想向您表达最深切的感谢。感谢您为加密货币行业、为币安、为BNB Chain所做的一切。
当加密世界还很年轻、充满不确定性时,您从零开始把币安打造成了全球最强大的交易所。您为数百万从未接触过加密货币的人,打开了数字金融的大门。凭借不懈的创新、极致的易用性和坚定的决心,您让币安成为一股真正的全球力量,为普通用户提供了传统金融从未给予过的工具、流动性和自由。
BNB Chain的诞生与成长,同样是一项里程碑式的成就。您不只是推出了另一条区块链, 您打造了一个高性能、低成本的完整生态系统,让开发者、DeFi开拓者、NFT创作者和普通用户都能无障碍地去构建、去实验。BNB Chain成为了一座充满活力的创新之城,而这座城市的存在,正是因为您的远见与执行力。
在很多方面,您的故事让我想起了超级英雄。就像蜘蛛侠在城市间荡来荡去,以勇气、责任感与不屈的毅力守护人们一样,您也守护并壮大了加密社区,抵御了怀疑的风暴、市场的崩盘和外部的压力。蜘蛛侠有蛛丝发射器和蜘蛛感应,而您有远见、有社区、有对去中心化坚定不移的信念。正因如此,在许多人的心中,您永远会被称为 Binanceman(币安侠)那位荡得更高、建得更强、从未停止为加密未来而战的英雄。
谢谢您,CZ。谢谢您承担的风险、打破的障碍,以及您帮助建立的生态系统。加密行业因为您而变得更大、更强、更开放。币安和BNB Chain,就是一位坚定远见者所能成就的活生生证明。
致以最真诚的敬意与感激,
一位感恩的加密社区成员

People saying Matt is hacked. Then why does the doxxed launchpad founder hold 60% of $BOYZ?
One more tweet from Matt and this thing flies to $50m-$100m.
What do you guys think?
