By Johnson Idesoh, Group Chief Information and Technology Officer at Absa For the past three or four years, the world has lived through what is probably the fastest adoption of a general-purpose technology in modern economic history, with systems becoming embedded in ordinary working life so quickly that companies, governments, and regulators have often struggled to understand the implications at the same speed that employees and consumers were already adapting their behaviour around them.

During this time, assets cannot be withdrawn from the exchange, helping users add an extra layer of control when they want…
For years, crypto platforms competed on a familiar set of criteria: liquidity, market depth, product range, execution speed. Working to optimise for those strengths helped define the exchange era and brought hundreds of millions of users into digital assets.

At Binance, we believe the answer goes far beyond trading. Simply making markets more efficient won’t be enough to attract and serve billions of global users. They will only come when finance becomes easier to…
