CZ: Hyperliquid is innovative, but Binance won't copy its model

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao praised Hyperliquid as a "truly great invention" but affirmed that his company would not be following its model. Speaking on a recent podcast, Zhao explained that Hyperliquid targets a niche market where Binance cannot compete, noting its lack of Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and its claims of decentralization. He emphasized that Binance will not adopt Hyperliquid's approach due to its commitment to regulatory compliance. Zhao added that he assumes Hyperliquid has likely hired "very good lawyers" to address potential regulatory challenges.
