At the moment when a leading trading platform surpasses 300 million users, it coincides precisely with the global capital re-pricing liquidity nodes. This is not just about numerical growth; it signifies a structural shift in the platform's role — it can no longer be merely a trading venue but has been pushed into the position of a crypto financial infrastructure. It must face regulatory challenges head-on while also meeting the practical needs of global institutions and retail investors.



What has truly transformed the ecosystem in the past two years are the seemingly dull aspects of organization and compliance. After resolving regulatory uncertainties in the US through large-scale settlements, platforms have begun to obtain licenses across multiple jurisdictions, restructured management, and introduced a dual-CEO system — completely separating regulatory communication from user product capabilities. Achieving these within a system nearly the size of a medium-sized country's GDP is more akin to an inevitable upgrade for large financial networks.

Deeper changes stem from the expansion of the asset side and payment networks. The newly launched on-chain asset issuance mechanism is essentially a crypto version of a project screening system — from information filtering and liquidity accumulation to final listing choices, platforms are increasingly taking on the front-end role in price discovery; the rapid rollout of stablecoin payments has allowed platforms to truly enter cross-border commercial networks for the first time, accumulating measurable usage in real-world scenarios such as supply chain companies, travel services, and freelancers.

Institutional investors are incorporating crypto assets into their standard asset lists, and these positions, during dynamic hedging and rebalancing, inevitably rely on the deepest liquidity pools worldwide.

300 million users is a big number, but the real turning point is when stablecoin payments are widely adopted—that's when retail investors can truly start using it.

It seems that major platforms are upgrading from exchanges to financial infrastructure. To put it simply, this means they have to go all-in. I think the dual CEO system is okay; separating regulation and product teams allows them to operate independently. But to be honest, hearing about 300 million users sounds impressive, but the truly sticky users are probably those institutions...

The dual CEO system is brilliant; regulation and product are completely separated, finally no one has to bear two responsibilities at once.

300 million users sounds impressive, but to be honest, the real test is just beginning... The dual-CEO approach sounds quite bold.

300 million users sound good, but isn't it actually these institutions that are truly making money? The dual-CEO system sounds professional, but in reality, it's just a new way to pass the buck haha. I'm optimistic about stablecoin payments; at least there's some practical application now. Speaking of which, the most profound statement about liquidity, in simple terms, is just the winner takes all, right?

The move of having dual CEOs is indeed brilliant; regulation and product development are completely separated. This is the attitude that players should have.

The figure of 300 million users isn't that sexy after all; the real story is that it's doing infrastructure business, and that's the key point. I have to say, the dual-CEO system is somewhat interesting—separating compliance and product shows that these folks really understand how regulation works. Deploying stablecoins into the supply chain feels like the truly implementable thing, unlike exchanges which are more virtual. The pool with the deepest liquidity wins everything—this logic isn't wrong, but could it instead concentrate risks? The on-chain asset issuance mechanism sounds like copying TradFi; I wonder if this approach will work.
