Binance founder CZ this morning conducted his first on-chain contract transaction, trying the experience of the APX platform. CZ used a public donation address to open a 24.7x long position on $Mubarak at APX Finance with 0.4 BNB.
He candidly admitted that he had never traded futures on centralized exchanges like Binance, only having seen product demonstrations. Regarding his first on-chain trading experience, CZ stated:
Compared to CEX (centralized exchanges), the on-chain trading experience has a significant gap.
He also wanted to examine whether the previously criticized MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) issue still exists on-chain.
Privacy Issues in Futures Trading Become Focus
CZ also emphasized that on-chain contract trading lacks proper privacy protection. He pointed out that on-chain trading exposes positions and liquidation prices, which might violate the privacy principles of futures trading.
He believes futures trading should have a certain level of privacy, and this open design might expose market participants' trading strategies and position status, thereby affecting traders' privacy security.
Attempting to Downplay Operation: Market Needs No Excessive Attention
CZ stated that this test was merely a routine operation and was concluded on the same day. He emphasized:
The test results should not be over-interpreted, and the market need not pay excessive attention to this test.
