@CZ : How Binance Keeps The NO.1 For Three Reasons
In an interview with ARK Invest on May 7, 2026, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared the core principles behind the exchange's long-standing global leadership. He stated that their primary rule is prioritizing user protection over company revenue, as this trust is the foundation of their competitiveness.
CZ also highlighted Binance’s global agility compared to competitors tied to single home countries. He credited their success to a lean startup mentality with a low cost base, alongside a proven track record of security and high liquidity.
