Interesting paradox: the companies betting hardest on AI aren't shrinking teams, they're growing them. Maybe automation doesn't replace humans, it just raises the ceiling on what a team can build.
Are we underestimating this? #AI
Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.
Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has.
I’m pleased to announce that @_RichardTeng, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today.
Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth.
Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
With Richard and the entire team, I’m confident that the best days for @Binance and the crypto industry lay ahead.
As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions.
What’s next for me?
I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years.
After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi.
I can’t see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do.
On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they:
- do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and
- do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation.
Funds are SAFU!
With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion.
Onwards!

Hyperliquid has been added to the MAS's Investor Alert List (IAL). IAL listing does not constitute a ban, an enforcement action, or a finding of wrongdoing. The IAL provides a list of entities that, based on information available to MAS, may be wrongly perceived as being licensed or in any other way authorised or regulated by MAS. Many large exchanges and defi protocols have been included on the IAL.
Hyperliquid is permissionless infrastructure. It is not, and has never claimed to be, licensed or authorised by MAS, and no one should regard it as such. Nothing about the network has changed. As on other permissionless blockchains, users maintain self-custody at all times, and transactions settle transparently and fully onchain.
The Hyperliquid ecosystem remains committed to engaging collaboratively and constructively with regulators and institutions globally and to supporting clear, well-designed frameworks for onchain finance.
Holders aren't budging even with all this noise. Klippsten pointing to record supply held by long-term wallets as a sign we might already be scraping the bottom. If diamond hands won't sell here, who's left to dump? #Bitcoin
Hasta el viernes 26 de junio a las 18:00, el dólar oficial en Bolivia costaba Bs 6,96.
Dos horas después, el Banco Central anunció que desde el lunes valdría Bs 9,73.
Un ajuste "histórico". Una devaluación oficial.
Pero hay una pregunta que casi nadie está haciendo:
¿qué pasó con nuestras pensiones? 👇
Hoy 2,8 millones de bolivianos conocen el nuevo precio oficial del dólar.
Lo que no conocen es algo mucho más importante:
cuánto vale realmente su jubilación después de la devaluación.
No hay auditoría pública.
No hay informes actualizados.
No hay explicación oficial.
Y ese silencio también cuesta dinero.
