In-depth | He Yi, from a rural girl to the richest woman in the cryptocurrency circle, the woman behind Binance’s 700 billion business empire
This article reviews in detail the development and entrepreneurial journey of Binance co-founder He Yi. The content is rich and the article is long. I hope you can read it patiently and experience Yi Jie's extraordinary life with Bu Ai. * The video version can be watched on the YT channel "Wang Buai's Encryption Classroom". Welcome to follow and like~ Not long ago, a letter of appeal written to the US federal court attracted much attention. I believe everyone knows it later: In November 2023, Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, received a "huge fine" of US$4.3 billion from the U.S. Department of Justice. Its founder CZ Zhao Changpeng was sentenced to 4 months in prison and subsequently resigned as CEO.
AMD's new AI mini-PC is almost on par with NVIDIA's DGX Spark, but the real game-changer isn't just raw compute power; it's about who can keep their model iteration depreciation in check. With open-source models doubling in efficiency, the ROI for this kind of hardware can change daily. For outright inference devices, the biggest fear is getting your hands on one only to see it outperformed by cloud-based on-demand instances. It's fine to ride the developer hype in the short term, but when it comes to long-term calculations, that depreciation is the hidden pitfall.
HIP-3 brought the turning point faster than expected. After Trade.XYZ gobbled up 90% of the market share, several perp DEXs that were barely hanging on announced their exit. This round of reshuffling looks like a product battle, but in reality, it's the liquidity depth that has wrecked the rebate model. For small-cap traders, slippage has indeed decreased, but for market makers, entering the game now is like directly competing with the biggest liquidity pools on-chain for capital efficiency, raising the bar higher than many CEXs.
Robinhood's move is quicker than you'd think. They're diving straight in with a broker license to tap into the prediction market, not just competing with Polymarket for niche bets. They're using a compliant entry point to scoop up those retail traders still trading contracts on exchanges. The liquidity in on-chain prediction markets is already painfully thin, and with Robinhood holding tens of millions of active accounts, as long as they make the interface as smooth as buying and selling stocks, it's a done deal. For pure on-chain players, the real threat isn't the tech; it's the regulations locking down the playstyles before the compliant version gets users accustomed.
One standout data point this week: the on-chain leverage in DeFi has climbed back to 38%, matching the peak from 2021. But don't rush to compare it to the last bull run; back then, there was massive liquidity from the Fed to cushion the fall. Now, with macro conditions tightening for over six months, liquidations are likely to hit harder and faster. High leverage isn't the issue itself; the real problem lies in the thin trading volume that can't support these multiples. Even a slightly larger sell-off could trigger a cascade.
The reopening of Hormuz is making the market pragmatic; the first bets aren't on crashing oil prices, but on falling tanker insurance and freight costs. Last week, the capital tied up in supply chain disruptions needs to be liquidated this week, and that Brent war premium will compress faster than expected. However, this geopolitical easing is always fragile; a single spark could trigger a reversal. Now, if you're looking to short, make sure to keep an eye on any surprise news from the Middle East late at night.
The CEO of Sharplink said that the real moat of Ethereum is its people, and this actually points out the most awkward aspect of the current L1 arms race. Performance can be ramped up, airdrops can be thrown around, but the developer community and user habits can't just be glued together with subsidies. That's why a bunch of faster and cheaper chains can hustle for a while, but in the end, they still end up feasting on the leftovers from the Ethereum ecosystem. True stickiness has never been hidden in the tps data; it's all in the path dependency of the human brain.
This time, Alipay's "Abao" isn't a brand new wallet; it's just a chat shell layered over the existing interface to cut down on screen taps for users. The logic is sound, combining high-frequency scenarios with a low decision-making threshold. But that layer of trust isn't something you can just flip on, especially when it comes to transfers and investments; a lot of folks would rather do it themselves. In the early stages, it won't see much high-frequency use, but what we really need to watch is whether they can tie together those infrequent services like utility payments and investment recommendations. Once users get into the groove, that's when the real challenge for WeChat Pay begins.
This x402 protocol that Coinbase is working on with AWS is pretty interesting. Instead of having wallets pay gas fees, it allows AI agents to pay content providers directly. In simple terms, it's like putting a payment code on an automated data-scraping agent within the AWS ecosystem. The logic makes sense, but in the early days, it's likely just a geek toy; the volume isn't going to surge anytime soon. The real thing to watch isn't short-term use cases but rather the potential for this tech to streamline on-chain microtransactions, which could uncover a demand layer thicker than just 'transfers and trading coins'.
This week, a massive IPO just landed on Wall Street, and over here in crypto, liquidity thinned out immediately. During the new listing days, there was a clear outflow of stablecoins on-chain. It's not that people aren't trading; it's just that funds are temporarily redirected to grab allocation. For those who missed out on the IPO gains, there's a potential scenario to watch: once the lock-up period ends, funds might not flow back into crypto but instead shift to the secondary market to chase new stock. In the short term, for new coins and altcoins to surge, we need to wait for this pressure to ease up.
The CFTC didn't block Bitcoin this time; instead, they’ve got their eyes on 24-hour trading for oil. Setting limits on CME oil contracts is likely due to concerns about thin overnight liquidity, where a single sell order could trigger a chain reaction of liquidations. For the crypto space, this actually confirms things in reverse: since regulators are first targeting traditional commodities, it seems there's still a window for crypto derivatives. If on-chain oil contracts start clearing smoothly, then the pressure will really shift toward crypto.
Xiaohongshu is dropping its IPO on the HK stock exchange, and with a valuation of 31 billion, it seems steep. However, compared to the Chinese concepts in the secondary market that are still pushing ads, this one holds more weight. The core selling points are the user base and community stickiness, but the big revenue still comes from ads. This year, consumer confidence hasn't fully bounced back, so advertisers are gonna be pickier with their spending. The HK market usually doesn't have much patience for these 'high valuation + unstable profits' plays, so on the first day, we gotta watch the pricing levels before getting too caught up in the hype.
SemiAnalysis just dismantled the Kirin 9030 Pro, and the conclusion is clear: the architecture and performance have clearly taken a step up. The path for advanced manufacturing in China isn't blocked. This is a reminder to the market that barriers built purely on export controls have an expiration date. Once the yield for foundries improves, US semiconductor companies will face not just weak competitors, but the loss of a market with the highest demand. Short-term orders won’t shift immediately, but the revenue cuts in the China segment reflected in earnings reports will inevitably translate into a reverse acceleration in R&D investments.
Anthropic is rolling out real-name facial recognition, allowing direct data submission to the police without a subpoena, which cuts deeper than their previous model bans. Big model companies claim to prioritize safety, but in reality, they're tying themselves to regulators to avoid future backlash. The trade-off of user convenience for privacy isn't new, but reaching the point of facial recognition opens yet another avenue for data leaks.
This wave on Wall Street pushing for tokenized stocks, hitting a market cap of over a billion is just the obvious play; the real action is in collateralized lending and derivatives. Bringing assets on-chain is at best just moving A-shares onto the blockchain for trading, but on-chain stock DeFi is the real game we want to play—borrowing stocks, leveraging, going long and short, and eventually untangling from traditional clearing systems. This path is way trickier than just launching a stablecoin, but once it’s up and running, the ledger won't just belong to the exchanges anymore.
Backpack's semi-monthly pump of 150% looks impressive, but if you flip through the on-chain holdings, you'll find that the top twenty addresses hold nearly 90% of the circulating supply. This level of concentration doesn't feel like retail investors banding together; it seems more like the project team and market makers are feeding each other liquidity. The real test comes at the unlock period; once the incentives dry up, the selling pressure could hit harder and faster than expected. This kind of price action isn't off-limits to trade, but you need to be clear about whose bags you're holding.
Alipay is fully pivoting to AI dialogue, while WeChat is tightening its grip on its social base. Essentially, it's a bet on two different entry logics. One aims to turn AI into a new distribution channel for services, while the other fears losing its relationship chain. Looking ahead, this path divergence will eventually replay in on-chain wallets and Web3 social interactions. The one who first bridges dialogue to transaction will resemble the prototype of the super app for the next decade.
The Bank of Japan is likely to hike rates again this week, and the Fed's statement might clean up any dovish language. Both sides are tightening at the same time, putting real pressure on the stock market in the short term. But what's worth keeping an eye on is the yen—every time the yen strengthens, the chain reaction from unwinding carry trades can be trickier to gauge than the rate hike itself. The liquidity in the US stock market is already thin at this level, and a small run on liquidity could easily amplify volatility.
ThetanutsFi losing 2.1 million isn’t a huge hit, but the fact that white hats can recover some funds shows that crypto on crypto crime is becoming the norm. When vulnerabilities surface, it often isn’t just one crew that jumps in first. After incidents, everyone starts shouting for insurance, but the payout rates are what they are. What on-chain protocols lack isn’t just post-incident safety nets, but even a solid real-time monitoring setup before deployment. Going live on the mainnet without code audits is like going in naked.
