Yi He

Cofounder, Binance

Search every verified Yi He interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Yi He, co-CEO of Binance, participated in two livestream events in July 2026 marking the exchange’s ninth anniversary. She reflected on Binance’s growth from fewer than 6 million global crypto users in 2017 to over 323 million users on its platform, describing the company as still in an “early stage” and calling 1 billion users a “first stage goal.” She recalled that Binance began helping users recover funds sent to incorrect addresses in 2017, citing an instance where a student told her that losing the money would mean losing their life. She stated that the company has since helped users recover more than $800 million. Yi He discussed the evolution of the crypto industry, saying that while early participants aimed to “rebuild a Wall Street” and create a “token market,” user demand has shifted toward accessing the world’s best assets. She noted that valuable assets built on-chain remain limited and that Binance aims to improve efficiency and lower costs in existing financial systems. She emphasized that building a business requires caring for users, charging low fees, and providing good service, adding that “if you really care people, they know it.” She expressed excitement about onboarding the next billion users globally.
