Misunderstandings about 'Binance Life' and personal thoughts: 1️⃣ First, let's talk about the market logic of exchanges. Recently, Binance announced its listing rules, which honestly aren't much of a secret within the industry. The majority of profits from the last market cycle came from predicting exchange behavior. Let me elaborate a bit more here, especially since there have been so many voices recently claiming that exchanges won't list Binance Life Sun bro came out and slapped them in the face. If Binance Life is a popular project, it aligns perfectly with the goal of exchanges making money. Don’t ask where it comes from—unless it’s offensive in nature—its trading volume is insanely high. Any exchange that can grab a slice of the pie will see decent profits. The prerequisite is that the trading volume is massive. If there’s a huge trading volume and a large community of users, listing the token on an exchange is essentially a zero-cost way to gain users. While retention isn’t 100% (not everyone who downloads the app for the token will stick around), it’s still zero-cost, and the exchange can earn trading fees at the same time. This logic is what CZ refers to as popular projects. Another type is commercialized projects that pay directly to get listed on exchanges. Through financial operations, the project team earns profits, and the exchange takes a cut. This is a more common approach. Huobi has already taken the lead, so let’s keep watching what happens next. 2️⃣ Judging Binance Life Binance Life is, after all, the first Chinese project to thrive on-chain recently. Most on-chain projects gain popularity through community-driven efforts, so user data is a critical factor for exchanges. Even though Binance Life originated from Binance, it doesn’t stop other exchanges from making money off it. Listing the token itself isn’t a big deal. For exchanges dominated by Chinese users, listing tokens can generate profits and boost market reputation. Essentially, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Exchanges are commercial operations, not kids playing house. What’s yours is yours, and what’s mine is mine. When it comes to making money, it’s all about USDT—talking about ‘cutting the cake.’ For Binance, this is an opportunity to strengthen its market influence. 3️⃣ Some thoughts on what’s next @cz_binance CZ has already posted about supporting more languages. For domestic exchanges, listing a token targeting a specific region’s language is far more cost-effective than spending big money on ads to acquire users in that region. Conversely, for overseas exchanges looking to capture a share of the Chinese market, listing a Chinese-language token is also a smart move. When it comes to boardroom decisions, making money is always more important than saving face. In the future, this model might become a solid marketing strategy for exchanges. No matter which Chinese token gets listed, the trend is irreversible. (The above content involves probabilities. I personally hold positions, so my perspective may be biased.
