Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has highlighted positive outcomes in its year-end report, showcasing its achievements. 
The cryptocurrency exchange disclosed a 30% surge in user numbers in 2023, expanding its customer base to over 170 million. Additionally, it facilitated 18% more trades among 39% more users compared to 2022. 
Moreover, Binance Pay welcomed 3,500 new merchants and partners, while the user base for the Earn program saw a 35% increase. 
The implementation of its proof-of-reserves system expanded to cover 31 tokens, a substantial rise from nine tokens the previous year. Binance also introduced its Web3 Wallet. 
While Binance retracted its assertion from the 2022 report of having the “crypto’s best security and compliance team,” it simultaneously augmented its compliance investment from $158 million to $213 million, marking a 35% increase. 
The company briefly addressed its settlement with the U.S. government, acknowledging past conduct and emphasizing the resulting comprehensive compliance program. Notably, U.S. regulatory agencies did not allege any misappropriation of user funds or engagement in market manipulation by Binance. 
It is worth noting that<a href="https://www.unlock-bc.com/112544/binance-to-exit-us-market-and-settle-record-breaking-4-3-billion-settlement/" class="ek-link"> former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has stepped down from his leadership role</a> due to the U.S. government settlement. Despite a $150 million fine, CZ’s net worth surged by $24.6 billion to reach $37.2 billion, as reported in the December 25 edition of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. 
This elevated him to the 35th position among the world’s richest individuals.
