Richard Teng: Binance's Next Chapter - [Making Markets, EP.37]

Making Markets

My guest today is Richard Teng, the CEO of Binance. As a former regulator in Abu Dhabi, Richard was instrumental in making the city one of the world’s friendliest places for crypto. Today, he leads the world's largest crypto exchange into the post-CZ era. We talk about the painful lesson of the past year, working with regulators and putting the customer first. We also cover the Nigeria incident, the impact of the ETF, and why he’s bullish about the global regulatory outlook for Crypto. Please enjoy this conversation with Richard Teng.
