What’s new?

What else did Zhao say? The head of Binance explained that he could not comment on specific listings or projects because there was a lot of potential for accusations of insider trading, leaks, or other problems. He cited strict policies, stressing that project teams with whom Binance communicates about listings are also forbidden to disclose anything.
Zhao said that he intentionally does not participate in the process of listing and promoting meme tokens on Binance due to a lack of time and unwillingness to get involved. The businessman added that the exchange has an independent team for that purpose.
He stressed that Binance is not opposed to any cryptocurrencies, noting that Shiba Inu (SHIBA) meme token is available on the platform, and the trading volume of the asset is quite high. As of May 4, 08:10 UTC, the asset is trading at $0,00001, having added 0.4% IN 24 HOURS. The asset ranks 16th in the cryptocurrency ranking with a capitalization of $5,9 billion.
