In the same tweet thread, Loi also explained that here this situation is not for individual crypto investors, instead here it is a matter for the whole crypto sector where crypto investors & traders don’t have any better option over the Binance exchange.

“it was about the 99% of mainstream users out there who have been using CEXs and will find CEXs as their main platform for quite some time. Now they don’t have any other options apart from Binance,” He explained.

Another Twitter user claimed that the FTX exchange was not close to the Binance exchange and also FTX was stealing users’ funds only. 

In this whole discussion, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao indirectly criticised Loi by saying that he was thinking of Loi as a smart person.
