FORBES: Exclusive Interview with CEO of Binance
Binance Gives Back: How The World’s Largest Crypto Exchange Is Using Blockchain For COVID Relief
“The pandemic has changed the world as we know it; it will never be the same again. And in this new world, we believe crypto will play an ever increasing role.” - CZ, Founder and CEO of Binance
It is no secret that Binance is the largest and most used crypto exchange in the world, boasting 13.5 monthly active users and $11 billion in daily trading volume. The firm and its equally impressive CEO Changpeng Zhao (known as “CZ”) adopted a winning mentality early on. Binance became the largest crypto exchange within 180 days of existence, giving its CEO the coveted billionaire status, within the first year of operation.
But there is another, equally impressive, side to Binance. Its philanthropic arm - Binance Charity - is the world’s first decentralized charity foundation that utilizes blockchain technology to address issues regarding poverty and inequality.
To address the COVID-19 pandemic, Binance Charity launched a "fully transparent" giving campaign, facilitating more than $4 million donations to COVID-19 hotspots all over the world including China, India, Italy, Japan, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, and the United States.
Following up on this news, I had the pleasure to ask CZ a few questions about both Binance Charity and his vision for the blockchain industry.
As always, please reach out with your feedback and ideas.
Best,
