"I refused to help a President list Token on Binance" – this attention-grabbing Chia by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and former CEO of Binance, is sparking heated discussion within the crypto community, especially as the world's largest exchange recently announced a more transparent and rigorous Token listing process than ever before.
According to CZ's statement, Binance does not accept any form of "interference," "backdoor deals," or influence from influential individuals, including those at the highest levels. CZ asserted that he once refused support even when offered assistance related to a President, in order to protect Binance's core principles of fairness, transparency, and project-based merit. This message came shortly after Binance officially re-announced its listing process, clarifying that all projects must undergo rigorous evaluation of their technology, product, team, legal compliance, and long-term value to the ecosystem.
CZ specifically warned the community that any individual or organization claiming to be able to “help a project get listed on Binance” is engaging in fraudulent activity. He stated that Binance will not tolerate such cases and urged projects and investors to proactively report any suspicious offers they encounter. Violators will not only be permanently blacklisted but may also have their identities publicly revealed to protect the community.
