CryptonewsZ Raises a Toast to the World’s Largest Crypto Exchange

Legendary icons don’t need much of an introduction. And so is the case with the world’s leading crypto exchange- Binance. With 1.2 Billion average volume daily, more than 1,400,000 transactions every second, and the customer support that is available every minute of every single day, Binance’s passion, competitiveness, capabilities, hard work, commitment, and drive to do more and more every time; naturally, get proven.

This article is a tribute to the excellence which this platform has brought to the crypto industry. With services that understand the micro needs of the users, and with a vision that drives the entire crypto sphere, Binance is a sure benchmark to check when it comes to inspiration, innovation, and growth. Founded in 2017, the crypto exchange has offered several benchmarks that dictate the quality standards in the crypto industry. Let us have a look at the stunning journey of this crypto-genius platform, on the occasion of its second birthday!

Lions never back down, neither did Binance after the infamous BTC Hack-

It’s not that the strongest ones never get injured. What makes them the strongest is the ability to get back up again on their two feet as quickly as possible.

The hack- Two months ago, Binance faced a crypto hack of 40 million BTC due to a data breach. This resulted in the theft of API keys, two-factor codes, and other sensitive information. The hackers managed to steal 7000 BTC to their personal wallets.

The immediate reaction of Binance- When the hack was noticed, the company immediately froze a few features temporarily to conduct security scrutiny. The services of withdrawing or depositing were frozen for seven days to prevent any more stealing. Further, Binance contacted other crypto exchanges for seeking help in tracking down and freezing the stolen cryptos.

Bouncing back with more power and vigor- Binance didn’t let the situation break its back. It stood back up again with more strength after the blow. The company covered for loss of its user-base by supporting it with their own funds.

Further, the CEO of the company, Changpeng Zhao (aka CZ), hosted An “Ask Me Anything” session in order to answer all the questions that were rolling in the air around the situation. It showed the heart of the company to place the users’ concerns before its own injury.

Integrity in the face of challenge- Questions around convincing other network stakeholders to roll back the lost BTC were raised. To this, the company politely explained the situation. Of course, it was possible to do it if we focus on Binance singularly. But the CEO of the company had a bigger vision and a bigger heart when he said how rolling back BTC, despite being very much possible, can actually question the credibility of BTC in return. How many, in today’s time, can scarify personal gains for the sake of integrity?

The Journey of being just a crypto exchange to becoming a ‘blockchain ecosystem’-
