*When Binance sets its sights on 1 billion users, what changes next, and how does new leadership accelerate the plan?* In this Binance Blockchain Week 2025 highlight, Binance CEO Richard Teng outlines the exchange’s 2026 direction: pushing deeper into licensed markets, partnering with governments to harmonize rules and remove debanking hurdles, and investing heavily in compliance — while unveiling a new leadership structure with co‑founder He Yi as co‑CEO. With Binance now at roughly 300 million users, Richard Teng maps the growth hotspots (Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East) and the work required to onboard the next wave: uniform standards, fair access to banking rails, and real education and use cases. He also addresses past early‑days missteps, why the regulatory landscape has evolved, and how Binance’s compliance transformation — 21 regulated jurisdictions, 1,300 people in compliance (22% of global headcount), and +30% YoY compliance spend — underpins trust going forward.
