- CEO Changpeng Zhao said the crypto community currently demands more from exchanges, and the firm is “pleased” to provide such clarity:
“As Binance’s user community is exponentially larger than the next largest exchange, this is a massive undertaking and will take a few weeks to develop the data for the majority of our assets in custody. We are working to get the next update out as quickly as possible to meet the community’s expectations,” he added.
