Leo Schwartz, the author of Fortune Crypto's Proof of State newsletter, has stated that Binance CEO Richard Teng views the appointment of a compliance monitor as a "competitive advantage". According to Schwartz, this move demonstrates the company's willingness to comply with regulations. He shared these insights in his April 10 newsletter.
"While the presence of U.S. Feds in every aspect of Binance may seem like a turnoff for the exchange's international user base, Teng stressed that he viewed the appointment as a competitive advantage," said Schwartz. "This is also a demonstration of our willingness—a demonstration of our ability to comply with all the rules and regulations,' he told me. As the platform preserves its market dominance, the numbers seem to back up his bold proclamation—at least for now."
In an event held on April 9 during Paris Blockchain Week, Europe's largest digital asset conference, Schwartz moderated a fireside chat with Teng. This information was also shared in the aforementioned newsletter.
