How Did Binance Come To Dominate Crypto?

The bankruptcy of crypto exchange FTX and the indictment of its former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who’s pleaded not guilty to 8 criminal counts - is shining a light on the world’s largest crypto exchange - Binance - and its CEO, Changpeng Zhao - known as CZ. The exchange is estimated to be worth around $300 billion and holds nearly 60 percent of the crypto derivatives market. Binance has managed to eclipse its rivals when it comes to market share and CZ appears confident that the company will successfully navigate the crypto winter.

But with FTX out of the picture, there are increasing fears among some investors that Binance has become too big, and as the largest exchange, holds too much power in an industry that prides itself on being decentralized.

How did Binance get so big? What was the fuel behind its meteoric rise? Bloomberg reporters Justina Lee and Muyao Shen join crypto senior editor Phil Lagerkranser to unpack how Binance and CZ came to dominate crypto, and whether that dominance creates a threat to the future of digital assets.
