In the year 2024, when the tide of the times rolls in, some are swallowed by the storm, while others hold their torches against the wind. This year, Bitcoin breaks through the $100,000 mark, declaring to the world with a string of code that consensus will eventually split the dark clouds; Trump loudly launches 'Trump Coin', and the collision of politics and blockchain sparks absurd yet real flames; CZ returns to social media to continue his chatter, taking over Labs and renaming it YZi Labs, still the boy who has always been bullish on Bitcoin. Binance silently prowls, with global registered users surpassing 250 million, and the total trading volume of spot and derivatives reaching the $100 trillion mark. Behind every digit are countless sleepless nights. This year, Binance has more than 5,000 employees, with 172 employees receiving year-end bonuses exceeding 1 million RMB, and 3,271 receiving bonuses exceeding 100,000 RMB, the highest bonus being 10.2 million. We hope to give the best treatment to the best people in the market. If you're strong enough, come and ride the wave!

The Bitcoin ETF has brought traditional capital into the game, as every crypto user respectfully calls each other 'esteemed Wall Street trader'. Institutions have become mainstream players in the crypto world, already intertwined. Someone asked me: 'What keeps you working hard?' My answer is simple: I've come this far; not everyone has the chance to join the bustle of 'making history'. If it's just about living, being a frog in warm water, turning passionate blood into cold soup day after day, coming and going as if you never came, then that's a pity!

Code can solve efficiency problems, but it cannot untie human greed; when valuable assets turn into scarce goods, the carnival of memes is like an un-deconstructable stream of consciousness performance art. Beyond trading, true transformation always happens in those unguarded moments—when the old man playing chess on the street refutes a Ponzi scheme using Binance Academy, or when the retired lady invests in Binance Earn. When we send out the first 200 U in donations for a doctoral program initiated by Siyuan on BNBchain with 0 Gas fees, the significance of blockchain technology serving users is our conquest. Although this path is slow, slow is fast.

Thanks to this crazy era, it gives the sharpest knife to idealists; thanks to the criticism and encouragement from all members of the community guiding us to the dawn, thanks to Binance's iron army, using code as a sword, compliance as a shield, and putting users at the center, lighting the fire of freedom on the dark road; thanks to Binance's global users, your trust is the reason for our existence.

As the New Year's bell of 2025 is about to ring, the storm and the opportunities coexist. Surfing on the crest of the wave, these surfers are not afraid of the wind and waves; they are more afraid of missing the moment the wave rises.

New Year's Eve 2024

Finally, this is a New Year blessing from He Yi:
