Richard Teng new Binance’s CEO confident to lead Binance to its best again

Binance’s new CEO, Richard Teng, faces challenges in turning the world’s largest crypto exchange around after founder Changpeng Zhao pled guilty to violating U.S. anti-money laundering rules in a $4.3 billion settlement.

Analysts, investors, and former regulators claim Teng faces years of intrusive U.S. financial monitoring, a continuing SEC case, and the possibility of losing crypto sector dominance.

Four people claim Teng has a hard time changing Binance’s culture, with four people claiming it turned a blind eye to its legal obligations in the pursuit of profit.

Teng, who handled Binance’s regional markets, could face hurdles, as nearly $1 billion left the exchange in the 24 hours after Zhao’s arrested.
