During the CEO Connect: June Edition AMA with Binance CEO Richard Teng, when asked about how Binance is working to make crypto safer for everyday people amid losses and scams in the industry, he responded that safety within the crypto space is something that many people worry about, and that scams are not an issue specific to the crypto industry.
He brought up Binance’s $1 billion SAFU emergency fund and monthly Proof-of-Reserves reports, but also highlighted Binance’s industry-leading security and risk management infrastructure, collaboration with external partners and Binance's nine-level anti-scam control framework that helps protect users from evolving threats by alerting them when their assets might be at risk.
He also shared how Binance worked with US and Taiwan law enforcement agencies to take down a notorious darknet narcotics marketplace called Incognito Market, adding “that’s one example, but there are many such cases we've worked on. Effective security takes collaborative effort, and we’re committed to doing our part to make crypto safer and more accessible for everyone.”
