"As of July 31, #Binance has secured over $73M in stolen user funds from external parties in 2024, surpassing the $55M secured in 2023," said Princay. "Through proactive efforts, we've recovered lost digital funds, with ~80% related to external exploits."

Chief Security Officer at Binance, Jimmy Su, said their success stems from a user-focused culture dedicated not only to protecting Binance users but also to "enhancing the overall security of the cryptocurrency ecosystem," according to Binance’s blog. "Market growth and volatility, as observed in recent months, often bring an influx of new investors who may be more susceptible to scams and hacks, and elevated prices during these periods can result in larger monetary losses," Su said.

According to the Chainalysis 2024 Crypto Crime Report, the total value received by illicit cryptocurrency addresses in 2023 was $24.2 billion, representing a decrease from $39.6 billion in 2022. The share of all crypto transaction volume associated with illicit activity also fell from 0.42% to 0.34% in 2022. These reductions emphasize the effectiveness of proactive security measures in the industry, according to the report.

According to LinkedIn, Princay has been the President and General Manager of Binance France since December 2020. He previously worked as a Consultant at MAD Network, Commercial and Marketing Manager at Verseau Paris, and Pre-sales Manager at Gutenberg Technology.
