When that news came out on December 3, to be honest, I felt pretty reassured. A senior executive, who has always been well-liked by users at a leading exchange, was officially promoted to Co-CEO. For long-time users like us, this means something different.

It’s not just some official rhetoric, but a real sense of certainty. Ever since I entered the space, this executive has always come across as especially genuine—saying what needs to be said, taking responsibility when necessary. No matter how volatile the market gets or how much outside skepticism there is, you always see them step up and respond directly. That kind of style is truly rare in this industry.

Most of the time, users’ expectations are actually pretty simple: knowing there are reliable people steering the platform, and that when problems arise, someone has the courage to speak up. This appointment, in a way, is about formally making that trust official.
