Richard Teng, the new CEO of Binance, has committed to maintaining the core values of the exchange, focusing on innovation, and enhancing consumer protection worldwide. This commitment marks a pivotal moment in the company’s history. Teng’s ascension to the top position follows Changpeng Zhao’s resignation, which was influenced by a pretrial agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, prompting Zhao to step down as the CEO of Binance.
I’ll be doing lots of talking over the next few weeks. Interviews, events, AMAs & more. Look forward to meeting many of you soon.
One point to reinforce now – #Binance’s core values will not change. We remain focused on protecting users & building a platform people love to use.
The new CEO of the world’s largest crypto exchange began his journey with Binance as the head of its Singapore branch two years ago. Rapidly climbing the corporate ladder, he soon took charge of all regions outside the U.S.
With over 30 years of experience in financial services and regulation, Teng is well-equipped for his new role. His background includes leading roles at the Financial Services Authority in Abu Dhabi and as the chief regulatory officer at the Singapore Exchange.
Teng has expressed a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, planning to work with global regulators to promote standards that encourage innovation and protect consumer interests. He also has ambitious plans to collaborate with Binance’s partners to drive growth and further the adoption of Web3 technologies.
Teng’s dedication to maintaining Binance’s core values, along with his strategic focus on regulatory compliance and technological progress, suggests that his leadership could be a turning point for the crypto powerhouse.
