来自我们的首席执行官成为推动所有船只前进的潮流

我们的行业已进入发展和成熟阶段，监管合规对于用户体验和安全、业务成功和负责任的增长至关重要。这个时期究竟何时开始尚有争议，但在我看来，币安完全有资格成为新时代的开始。2023 年 11 月，我们采取了区块链领域前所未有的举措，为我们的历史问题承担了责任，承认即使是在监管不确定的状态下处于新兴领域的年轻企业，也不能被视为合规控制不够健全的借口。

我们吸取了惨痛的教训，但这也让我们为行业其他参与者指明了前进的方向。我们邀请其他人来审视我们的不足之处以及改进方法，并从我们的经验中学习，避免遭受我们一路走来所遭受的诸多挫折和伤害——这样我们的同行就不必再遭受这样的打击，整个生态系统及其用户的利益都会得到维护。我们还知道，为我们这个充满活力的行业制定合规标准只是其中的一部分，另一个同样重要的部分是其他主要参与者是否愿意并准备达到这些标准。虽然币安继续履行自己的职责，但该领域的其他参与者是否在相应地提高合规水平方面做得足够多？我认为他们还没有做到这一点，但我希望这种情况会有所改变。

合规发展需要团队共同努力

过去几年来，我们投入大量资金来加强合规和安全计划及人员，目标是将币安打造为这些领域的行业黄金标准，并为加密货币领域的同行树立榜样。我们为自己通过这些努力创造并继续维护的合规、安全和透明文化感到自豪。

我们的改进包括大幅扩展我们的内部反洗钱 (AML) 检测和分析能力，包括链上和链下监控；改进我们的身份验证 (KYC) 协议，通过一流的第三方供应商补充我们的内部团队和技术；加强我们的市场监督能力；以及建立行业领先的金融犯罪合规部门，负责协助全球执法机构进行与加密货币相关的调查，并与他们分享打击金融犯罪所需的技能和专业知识。每年，我们都看到反映这些努力的效率和影响的量化指标不断上升——与此同时，全行业对非法活动的估计不断减少。

Far from taking credit for all of the observed positive change, we have always maintained that this is a team effort. No matter how hard we try, we will never be able to pull the entire industry to the next level of compliance and maturity without the active support of our peers willing to pull their weight. Adopting the view that “a rising tide lifts all boats,” Binance began calling for other major players in the digital-asset space to act as one when it comes to building trust, introducing responsible practices, and improving transparency and compliance across the board.

From proposing a unified trust-building framework for all centralized crypto exchanges to open-sourcing our proof-of-reserves (POR) system code and beyond, we geared our initiatives toward wide participation of our fellow blockchain and Web3 businesses. Above all, we wished our compliance enhancements, shaped by painful mistakes and grueling work alongside regulators, to start being widely replicated. While some improvements in this direction are already visible, I believe our industry peers are not doing enough.

Boat or Tide?

Implied in the “rising tide” metaphor is the idea that once a sweeping wave of positive change comes into an industry, every participant stands to benefit. This holds true for an industry-wide compliance upgrade: once all major players in the field are fully compliant, with less responsible ones forced to get up to the new standard or fold, we will enter a virtuous cycle of ever-solidifying trust, driving even more adoption. What the metaphor does not specify is who should be the tide driving the change, and who is the boat waiting to be lifted. Let me make it clear: Binance is not the tide. The tide is all of us, and our users should be the boats.

We are aware that to this day, some of our largest and strongest peers – the kind of entities that should be driving change for the benefit of the entire ecosystem – are not bringing their best game. Some turn a blind eye to wash trading, others are yet to introduce strong surveillance and transaction monitoring practices, yet others allow sanctions violations. Some, unfortunately, check several of these boxes at once.

True, these players haven’t yet suffered the same consequences of such shortfalls as Binance has, but it doesn’t mean that they never will. Even if they manage to avoid immediate regulatory scrutiny – which is far from warranted – and attendant sanctions, in the long run, eschewing best compliance practices will contribute to the erosion of user trust and the deterioration of their business. Even more importantly, whatever tactical benefits can be gained from lax anti-money laundering and identity verification policies, such behavior ultimately hinders the growth and maturation of the entire industry, negatively affecting all of its participants and users to a much greater extent.

因此，我呼吁同行们：从币安的错误中吸取教训，而不是重蹈覆辙——后者的代价将更加高昂。不要做静静等待潮水涨起的小船，而要顺应潮流。今天，完全合规是整个加密货币和区块链行业保持爆炸式增长轨迹所需要的。这也是我们的用户想要和需要的。最后，这将帮助我们创新、以使命为导向的行业更接近其最终目标：推进金融自由，让人们的生活更加美好。所以，顺应潮流吧。
