#FOMCMeeting 👑 Yi He Makes CoinDesk’s Top 50 Women in Web3 & AI — Here’s Why That Matters (Beyond the Headlines)
Let’s be real: In an industry often dominated by pseudonyms, memes, and market cycles, sustainable leadership is underrated.
That’s why it’s worth pausing the chart-watching to spotlight something bigger — Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance, just made CoinDesk’s inaugural “Top 50 Women Shaping Web3 & AI” list.
And not just as a symbolic nod — but as one of the few people who’ve actually helped build crypto’s core infrastructure from scratch.

🧠 Why Yi He Stands Out in Web3 (Not Just at Binance)
Since co-founding Binance in 2017, Yi He has been the quiet powerhouse behind the platform’s meteoric rise. Her work spans:
🚀 Scaling Binance into the #1 crypto exchange by volume (📊 $19B+ daily, per @coingecko)
🏗️ Leading Binance Earn, where 300+ tokens now offer yield and staking opportunities
📱 Driving product experience, growth strategy, and user ops — including in high-pressure, high-regulation cycles
💼 Managing YZi Labs, the family investment arm that oversees $10B+ in assets, alongside CZ
> TL;DR: If Web3 had a C-suite hall of fame, Yi He’s seat would already be reserved.
🔍 Not Just Crypto — Also AI
The CoinDesk x Proof of Talk list specifically highlights leaders bridging Web3 with AI — two tech sectors on a collision course.
Yi He’s inclusion signals something important: Crypto’s next evolution isn’t just about protocols — it’s about platforms, AI-native interfaces, and scalable, user-first infrastructure. And she’s quietly helping build that future.
