He Yi: AI increases development efficiency by 10 times, but Binance does not engage in large-scale layoffs, aiming to grow from 300 million users to 3 billion.

Techub News reported that at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, He Yi, Co-CEO of Binance, commented on the opportunities and challenges brought by AI. She stated that unlike most tech companies that resort to layoffs for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, Binance will leverage AI to enhance organizational output and innovation capabilities. She pointed out that AI programming tools are already very mature and can increase programmer efficiency tenfold. Binance once had an employee discovered and fired for "holding two jobs" after AI improved their efficiency. She believes AI has grown "hands" from a "high-IQ brain" and truly entered daily life, with the highest-paid programmer group being the first to be replaced.

He Yi revealed that Binance currently has 300 million users, and she proposed the next goal is 3 billion users. This means Binance will no longer be just an exchange but global financial infrastructure, with service scenarios covering daily payments, wealth management, etc. She acknowledged there is still room for optimizing the product experience and promised to "give it a few more months" for further improvements. Regarding positioning, He Yi emphasized that Binance will not confine itself; it has already listed commodities (crude oil, gold, silver, etc.) and will become a commercial company serving the masses like Google and Amazon in the future. Additionally, she advised newcomers: if you don't understand, buy top-tier assets, allocate small amounts, do more research, and trade less.
