“Binance cultivates a user-centric culture. She determines everything we do. We put this into practice by helping users recover unaccounted for and lost funds where possible, and by freezing and returning assets obtained through illegal means,” the exchange said in a report.
The company emphasized that leaders in the crypto-asset industry should use their influence and resources to support other participants in the emerging market. At the same time, one of the main tasks of such counterparties is the formation of an integral ecosystem, the organization noted.
According to the report, the exchange initially faced criticism from laissez-faire advocates.. Despite this, the company continued its work in this area.
“Mistakes happen, but our CS agents are ready to help fix them, making the process safer and more user-friendly,” the exchange said in a statement.

The report paid special attention to cases of rug pull. In a comment to Bloomberg, the exchange's chief security officer, Jimmy Su, noted that the scheme is gaining popularity amid signs of a bull cycle.

At the end of February 2024, the court admitted the guilt of the exchange and approved the deal with the American authorities. Binance will pay a fine of $4.3 billion.
