New dawn for Web2.5?
Also, built-in yield opportunities are another trigger of Binance Wallet leaving competitors in the dust.
Some skeptics opined that this is not apples-to-apples competition any longer. First, Binance Wallet has KYC, which is impossible for proper decentralized wallet.
Also, it relies on TrustWallet infrastructure, which allows Binance Wallet to siphon liquidity from what should be its competitor.
Wan concluded that Binance Wallet achieved "everything the best Web2.5 play can pull off" despite obviously violating "decentralized ethos."
