Binance co-founder He Yi clarified on social media the controversies surrounding Binance Labs and market development, sharing her in-depth thoughts on the industry's evolution.
1. About Binance Labs: Labs has now operated independently and has been renamed Yzi Labs, led by Ella Zhang, with direct management from CZ. The listing process of Binance is not directly related to the investment projects of Labs, and the company adopts a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery by employees, welcoming reports of such behavior.
2. Market Environment Analysis: The current market rally is primarily driven by traditional financial institutions and ETFs, while the crypto industry faces a shortage of high-quality assets. In the past, the industry was mainly based on infrastructure development, but now the development at the application layer is constrained by regulatory policies, resulting in generally low project valuations.
3. Thoughts on Industry Value: He Yi pointed out that although blockchain has the potential to change production relationships, most projects have not created real value. Airdrops and "XX to Earn" models without real economic support are difficult to sustain. She emphasized that high-quality assets should be based on long-term value rather than merely cashing out through token issuance.
4. Response to Public Opinion: She reviewed the rumors and attacks encountered in the past, stating that Binance always welcomes evidence-based reports to maintain transparency and fairness in the industry. At the same time, she emphasized that building is harder than destroying, encouraging industry professionals to stay true to their original intentions. He Yi concluded by stating, "Although this road is long, there will always be someone who holds a torch against the wind." She called for entrepreneurs genuinely committed to creating value to join together to promote the healthy development of the industry.
