Yi He, co-founder of Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has responded to controversy surrounding the recent listing of Ronin on the platform.
The listing was marred by a sudden price drop that raised suspicions of information leaks within the company.
In an official statement, Yi acknowledged the occasional controversy surrounding information leaks related to Binance. Still, he emphasized that these usually involved projects whose tokens were yet to be released and were often driven by community over-promotion.
Price Drop Linked To Pre-Listing Integration
Yi He’s statement revealed that an internal investigation was conducted to uncover the reasons behind the price drop following Ronin’s listing on Binance.
According to the co-founder, the investigation found that the price drop resulted from the pre-listing integration of the public chain, which allowed users to acquire Ronin tokens.
Importantly, Yi He clarified that the issue was detected externally and attributed to the chain rather than an internal information leak.
In response to the concerns raised by the Ronin listing, Binance has announced new regulations to maintain transparency and prevent information leaks. These regulations include the following:
