Let’s harness innovation to be a true force of change,” he urged, pointing to a pin on his jacket with the words “to the moon,” symbolizing Binance's ambitious outlook.
As Blockchain Week continues, Teng encouraged participants to leverage the event as a platform for shaping the future of the industry, grounded in collaboration, innovation, and resilience. Binance Blockchain Week 2024 is set to explore new horizons in blockchain, with sessions led by prominent voices covering crypto’s future, regulatory developments, DeFi, and Web3 innovation.
