Goal One: Binance's aim is to reach 3 billion users and become a global financial infrastructure service for the public
April 20, 2026 – On the first day of the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Binance Co-CEO He Yi joined a fireside chat themed “Reshaping Convenience: The Next Decade of Web3, AI, and the Smart Economy.” During the discussion, he stated:
“I aim to boost Binance’s overall output and innovation capabilities, rather than just chasing growth tied to our current scale.
Today, I’m putting forward a somewhat bold idea: While Binance previously set a goal to reach 1 billion users, we should now target 3 billion. This means Binance won’t just be a trading platform – it’ll evolve into a global financial infrastructure. Our services need to serve everyday people, the general public, everyone – covering daily payments, wealth management, and more.
I want to encourage our employees to experiment and innovate more. As we keep pushing our business boundaries, our infrastructure must stay sufficiently stable.”

Title: Title: Future of Blockchain: Blockchain Could Replace the Swift System, All Asset Transactions Will Take Place On-Chain
April 20, 2026 — On day one of the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Binance Co-CEO He Yi said during a fireside chat titled “Reshaping Convenience: The Next Decade of Web3, AI, and the Smart Economy”:
“I believe the industry could see a revolutionary shift ahead. Often, when that pivotal moment arrives, we’re actually oblivious to it—yet when it hits, it might feel like just another ordinary day. Still, the changes it brings to our lives and its broader impact could be profound.
For instance, global foreign exchange could shift entirely to blockchain down the line—ditching the traditional SWIFT system. We could also see all asset transactions become non-time-bound, running 24/7 globally—much like the crypto space. As a result, the entire world could rapidly enter a phase of exponential growth.”

Current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates show that the market continues to remain predominantly bearish
April 20th — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin is trading in a sideways range, and current funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) platforms signal predominantly bearish market sentiment, as detailed below.
**BlockBeats Note**: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to align perpetual contract prices with the underlying asset’s spot price. They facilitate fund transfers between long and short traders—exchanges do not retain these fees—and adjust the cost or profit of contract holders to keep prices in line with the underlying asset.
**Rate Context**: A 0.01% funding rate is the baseline. Rates above 0.01% indicate generally bullish sentiment, while rates below 0.005% signal predominantly bearish sentiment.
