"This is not about a size adjustment, but about a reassessment as to whether we have the right talents and expertise in crucial roles."

Patrick Hillman, Chief Communications Officer von Binance, also emphasized that the company does not make a 20 percent dismissal "as a cost reduction". Rather, it is part of a "testing of the talent density and resource assignment" that the company conducts cyclically every six months.
"We have great talents at Binance and we will continue to hold and hire top talents," he added.
We at Binance we have great talents and we will continue to keep and hire other top talents. If we have to part with an employee, he immediately becomes a valuable goal for recruiters around the world with customers who want to explore digital assets.
