CoinVoice has learned that Binance today disclosed a part of the blacklist for 'coin listing agents', which includes BitABC, Central Research, May / Dannie, Andrew Lee, Suki Yang, Fiona Lee, and Kenny Z. Binance states that this list is not exhaustive, and do not trust any 'coin listing agents'. The above personal or entity-related information has been obtained from public channels as follows:
BitABC is a crypto consulting, incubation, and project acceleration company, mainly offering services such as project promotion, community building, liquidity incentives, and market consulting, claiming to help crypto projects gain exposure and growth in the early stages on trading platforms.
May / Dannie is a partner of Binance's previously disclosed improper market maker Web3Port, with key figure May Liu and her team establishing a 'brokerage pipeline to Binance' from Spark Digital Capital to Web3Port, and then to Whisper. Spark operates in the name of VC, actually running a market outsourcing + FA business, relying on VC investments in projects to obtain free tokens for itself. After the industry turmoil in 21 and 22, project parties were unwilling to provide tokens for free anymore, so Spark shifted to an incubator model and established Web3Port, providing project packaging and VC connections in exchange for 1-3% of the token share.
Suki Yang is a crypto quantitative trader and investor, a former member of Pantera Capital, who has worked at various crypto platforms (such as CertiK, Hyype, etc.), and also founded the Solana chain meme launcher Lmao.fun.
Andrew Lee is a practitioner in the crypto industry, having participated in multiple blockchain projects (such as Handshake, Purse.io, etc.), possibly involved in project promotion or mediation.
Fiona Lee and Kenny Z have limited publicly available information, suspected to be individual project consultants or intermediaries, or engaged in coin listing coordination or project liaison.
Central Research may be a crypto research or consulting institution, with relatively few details publicly disclosed. [Original link]
