The launch of Alpha 2.0 is, in my opinion, a very forward-looking step by Binance, directly integrating on-chain transactions into the exchange, allowing many users who previously found DeFi too complicated and were reluctant to engage to participate easily. In the past, buying on-chain tokens was already a hassle with all the preparatory work—wallets, private keys, cross-chain transfers, and worrying about gas fees—but now, these cumbersome steps have been simplified, and everything can be done directly on Binance, which is a significant plus.

However, I think this convenience has its pros and cons. The advantage is that newcomers can participate more quickly, while the downside is that many people may ignore the risks due to the 'ease of access', buying into whatever is trending without doing any homework. This is especially true for high-risk assets like meme coins, where prices can skyrocket or plummet in an instant, making one susceptible to losses. Therefore, I believe that while Alpha 2.0 has made investing simpler, everyone still needs to have a basic awareness of risks; otherwise, they may end up being more easily taken advantage of by the market.
