Binance Issues Statement Following Harsh Criticism: “FUD!”

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has responded strongly to recent claims of a “weekly capital outflow of $20 billion.” Binance co-founder and Customer Service Officer Yi He responded to speculation on social media with a humorous tone, referring to those spreading “FUD” (fear, uncertainty, doubt). “If you're a crypto influencer and you're offered less than $20,000 to share FUD about Binance, sell it as an insult. This is standard fees for others. If we can help anyone make $20,000 by criticizing Binance, we'd be honored,” Yi He wrote on the X platform. Yi He's statement came after quoting a post by popular crypto investor El Jaboom, who shared DeFiLlama data claiming Binance had received over $4 billion in inflows in the last 24 hours, thus denying the claims.

However, the move has sparked widespread criticism within the community. “We have removed our previous customer support post regarding the listing process.
