Changpeng Zhao, CEO of crypto exchange Binance, has said that they delisted FTX leveraged tokens because many users didn't understand them. Zhao was talking about leveraged tokens during a series of tweets over the weekend. The move to delist them comes two months after the platform added them. Zhao said: The main reason for delisting is we find many users don't understand them. Even with pop-ups warning users each time, people still don't read it. Even though they are the most actively traded tokens, Zhao added that it was "bad for business to delist them." However, he went on to say that protecting users was what came first. If people were still unhappy, they should check back on the price of these tokens in a month's time "and let us know if you still complain then," he concluded. In response to Binance's decision, FTX said in an update, among other things, that: "Leveraged Tokens are complicated products, and Binance doesn't want to manage the user education and customer support for them." -@CZ_BINANCE/TWITTER | | | | A MESSAGE FROM SALESFORCE | | The Best of Dreamforce: get how-to resources to help you drive digital transformation with the Customer 360 Platform.
