The article says the discussion will also cover which trading skills can carry over from crypto into traditional markets, alongside lessons ThreadGuy has learned during his transition. It frames the event as a chance to compare market dynamics across crypto and non-crypto assets, with attention to similarities in how markets may move and how participants respond.

According to the announcement from Binance, the company will bring back its Football Game on Binance Discord as a community activity tied to the final stage of its yearly challenge, citing strong engagement in “The Pitch is Yours.” The campaign is scheduled to run from 2026-07-08 15:00 (UTC) to 2026-07-20 23:59 (UTC). During the Activity Period, participants can submit a quiz for each football match included in the campaign by choosing the winning team before the match begins, with the option to update their selection any time before the match closes.

Binance Blog published a new article, announcing that Binance’s licensed operation in Brazil, Sim;paul, has secured ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications for information security and privacy management. The certifications were awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI) after an independent audit that reviewed internal policies, operational controls, and governance systems tied to information security and privacy management. Binance said the milestone is intended to strengthen user protection and trust in Brazil, describing the certifications as external validation that its local operation follows internationally recognized standards for safeguarding information and personal data and maintaining security governance. The article also framed the achievement as part of Binance’s broader efforts to support responsible growth across key markets, emphasizing that trust in the crypto sector depends not only on product development but also on sustained investment in security, privacy, compliance, and operational resilience. Thiago Sarandy, Binance’s Country Manager of Brazil, said the certifications reflect a commitment across Binance globally and in Brazil, adding that they represent audited standards designed to protect users in the country.
Binance’s article explained that ISO/IEC 27001 is a leading global standard for information security management systems, setting requirements for identifying, managing, and reducing information security risks through structured controls and processes. It added that ISO/IEC 27701 extends that framework into privacy management by introducing controls for how organizations handle personal data. Together, Binance said, the standards cover areas including access controls, risk management, and data protection governance. The company positioned the Brazil certifications within a wider security and compliance strategy, noting that similar certifications have been secured in France, Japan, Bahrain, the UAE, Turkey, Thailand, and Kazakhstan. Jimmy Su, Chief Security Officer of Binance, said the certifications should be viewed as a baseline rather than an endpoint, describing user trust as something that must be earned continuously through stronger security and privacy governance. The article noted that the certification process follows a three-year cycle conducted by an independent accredited auditor, meaning continued adherence is required over time rather than through a one-time assessment.
