On December 3, the newly appointed co-CEO of a leading cryptocurrency exchange gave his first group interview with the media.

The new leader revealed several key points: First, the platform will crack down hard on black-market intermediaries posing as official "listing white gloves." This issue has actually been rampant within the industry. Second, retail users remain the foundation of the platform. How to balance the interests of all parties and genuinely look after ordinary investors is a question they are considering.

The most interesting part was when he talked about challenges—specifically, a lack of talent density. What exchanges need most right now are versatile professionals who understand both traditional financial product design and can keep up with the pace of crypto innovation. This demand is indeed hard to meet, as such individuals are already scarce in the market.

From these remarks, it's clear that after rapid expansion, leading platforms are starting to place greater emphasis on compliance, governance, and long-term competitiveness.
