Gatekeeping: Listing on Binance does not involve any so-called "white glove" or insider channels. The key requirement is to provide users with low-priced tokens or an airdrop.

December 3rd, Binance Co-CEO He Yi reiterated in an interview that there are no "backdoor listing practices"—the exchange has no so-called "white glove" or special channels. The core condition for listing is that project teams must provide users with low-priced tokens or airdrops. Any behavior posing as an intermediary is considered fraud, and reports from the industry are welcome. When discussing Binance's business and the outlook for the crypto space, He Yi noted that while Binance has nearly 300 million users, it still has shortcomings in product experience (e.g., platform fluency) and localized services, making it less user-friendly than some local exchanges. Moving forward, the focus will be on addressing technological stability issues and advocating for retail investors amid the global regulatory landscape. Previously, Binance misjudged the potential of meme tokens. Learning from its early conservative assessments of futures contracts and meme coins, Binance will not easily say "no" to the current popular "prediction market"—even though it does not fully understand the space. When market attention is significant enough, vested interests and conflicting voices will inevitably emerge. Binance will maintain an open learning mindset.
