Can Binance Manipulate Crypto Price Like FTX? Binance’s co-founder answers
He Yi, the co-founder and chief market officer of Binance, stated Tuesday that the crypto exchange has strict internal controls over employees trading in crypto. Employees must keep cryptocurrencies for at least 90 days after purchasing them. Only then can they sell them. This statement is in response to recent misappropriation by FTX/Alameda Research of customer funds.

She answered the question about whether internal fund transfers could be made on Binance.
No employee, regardless of their level, is allowed to make short-term cryptocurrency transactions. Employees must keep the cryptocurrency position for at least 90 days after purchasing it. It helps to prevent market manipulation and insider trading by its staff.
He Yi also revealed that Binance is moving forward with the Industry Recovery Initiative (IRI). The crypto exchange has selected projects that are eligible for funding. Binance also plans to use funds to fund two large transactions that target two trading platforms.
