"In last year's series of exchange operational crises, the fundamental flaw was their unsustainable business models. Many exchanges absorbed customer funds for high-risk investments, leading to major financial difficulties during market downturns. A crucial exchange responsibility is demonstrating sustainable business models to users," stated Damien Ho, Binance's Global Partnerships representative, at the 6th Hit AI & Blockchain Summit.
As the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance has cultivated a top-tier blockchain ecosystem. Ho emphasized that with 90% of Binance's revenue coming from transaction fees, the platform never utilizes customer funds, preventing significant asset depreciation during unfavorable market conditions.
Evolving Blockchain Ecosystem Services
The cryptocurrency environment has developed comprehensive ecosystems, with Binance expanding beyond trading to offer integrated service solutions. Examples include:
- Trust Wallet: Binance's official cryptocurrency wallet
- Incubator Programs: Supporting blockchain startups
- Binance Academy: Free multilingual education platform covering blockchain/crypto topics in 20+ languages
Notably, Binance partnered with Taiwan's National Chengchi University to deliver industry knowledge through accredited courses featuring global blockchain experts—bridging academia and crypto industries. The exchange also established Binance Research, providing data-driven investment insights to enhance ecosystem transparency.
Regulatory Collaboration Framework
Binance actively cooperates with regulators and law enforcement:
- Responded to 47,000 law enforcement requests in 2022
- Expanded compliance team from 500 to 750 specialists

Advocating Clear Regulatory Standards
Regarding Taiwan's need for defined regulations, Ho stressed that unclear standards create operational challenges. Binance's experience successfully registering licenses across 16 global markets stems from proactive regulator engagement—providing actionable policy recommendations during Europe and Hong Kong's regulatory developments.

New crypto projects undergo 6-9 month review periods on Binance, with only 2-3% approval rates, ensuring stringent consumer protections. The exchange continues collaborating with academic and government stakeholders to:
- Build trustworthy investment environments
- Safeguard consumer rights
- Advance impactful blockchain applications
