CZ questioned investors’ double standards on token listings in centralized and decentralized exchanges. Changpeng Zhao stated that exchanges should provide access to all tokens and that each centralized platform should apply its own selection framework, balancing security and availability.
The discussion followed comments by Benjamin Cowen, who criticized the promotion of memecoins on CEXs and warned about the impact on market credibility. CZ acknowledged that listing all tokens creates security issues, such as faulty smart contracts, and that listing nothing is also inappropriate, emphasizing the need for controlled listings and highlighting investor responsibility.
Binance faced accusations regarding profits linked to token listings and its relationship with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi company affiliated with the Trump family. Reports indicate that Binance and its users control 87% of USD1 in circulation. In January 2026, the platform distributed $40 million in WLFI tokens to incentivize usage, and the tokens were later transferred to Binance. WLFI denied any influence by the company over its operations.
