Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, has once again highlighted its importance to the cryptocurrency industry. The Changpeng Zhao-led exchange released a list of 11 Blockchain Pioneers in its maiden “Binance for Children Ambassadors.”
Announced on April 30, the list includes a slew of cryptocurrency proponents within the industry. The statement read,
“The eleven new ambassadors will champion Binance Charity’s initiatives, which call for action on leveraging efforts from the crypto space for transparent donations that will improve children’s nutrition, health, and education.”
The list had a mix of prominent cryptocurrency influencers as well as up and coming stars, sending a clear signal to the rest of the community as to where the future of the decentralized currency world lay. Mainstays like TRON Founder Justin Sun, Da Hongfei, NEO founder, Jihan Wu and Michael Arrington, Partner at Arrington XRP Capital were the standouts in the list.
Indian CryptoGirl, a cryptocurrency influencer voicing the concerns of the Indian cryptocurrency community, was also mentioned on the list, affirming the importance of the oft-overlooked cryptocurrency community in India. Notably, Indian CryptoGirl was the only “influencer” on the list, with other inductees either crypto-executives or columnists.
Other prominent people on the list were Dovey Wan of Prime Ventures and Rachel Wolfson from The Crypto Chick podcast, known for disseminating information within the cryptospace to the larger public.
Despite this list being solely for the exchange’s charitable aspirations, it does point to how the exchange is viewing the cryptocurrency space. The list includes a staple mix of proponents representing large companies like Neo, Tron, and Bitmain, while also representing cryptocurrency funds.
Binance’s charitable wing, Binance Charity Fund [BCF], was launched in October 2018, with the objective of providing relief to the victims of floods and landslides in Africa.
