Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, addressed public concerns on X regarding how the exchange handled specific financial obligations. He emphasized that the company did not take on new debt, liquidate assets, or seek external capital to meet these costs.

“A little something that's not mentioned, and ppl may not even think about: Binance did not borrow money Binance did not sell assets Binance did not raise money Binance covered from its balance sheet. This differs from other incidents that people keep wanting to compare to. 🙏”
