He Yi Ping Binance Faces the Second Battlefield of Public Opinion: Fanning the Flames Will Only Diminish Everyone's Confidence in the Industry

Binance co-founder He Yi commented on "Binance facing a second battlefield of public opinion after the security incident," stating, "When the storm comes, they believe that cutting down the biggest tree will make them the winner. Fanning the flames will only drive everyone away and reduce confidence in the industry, not just in Binance."

Earlier, Binance founder CZ shared a lengthy article and referred to it as "another attack on Binance." According to the article, from October 30 at 05:00 to November 2 at 20:00, within approximately 78 hours, 1,083 accounts published 11,700 hostile posts regarding the theft of Binance's hot wallet, with about 20.93 million exposures, of which 79.6% were replies, and 3,354 posts were deemed false information, categorized into 15 types of rumors.

The article suggests that alongside the real security incident, there was a rhythmic and organized narrative operation on X, with themes shifting according to Binance's response points, including internal sabotage, insolvency, a second FTX, reluctance to open withdrawals, a bank run upon opening, and exaggerating net outflows, among others.
