Binance Denies Hunting User Stops or Liquidation Prices, Emphasizing User Protection

Cointime Official

Binance's chief strategy officer, Patrick Hillmann, recently took to Twitter to emphasize the exchange's commitment to user protection and deny the practice of hunting user stops or liquidation prices. Hillmann's tweet comes amid growing concerns about this practice, which involves manipulating the market to trigger user stop-loss orders or margin liquidations for profit.

According to Hillmann, Binance does not and has never hunted user stops or liquidation prices. He explained that any trades made on the platform are primarily algorithmic for market stability purposes or to reduce slippage. Hillmann emphasized that user protection has always been and still remains Binance's top priority, and the exchange will never aggressively trade against users to their detriment.

Binance's emphasis on user protection and denial of hunting user stops or liquidation prices is part of the exchange's ongoing efforts to promote transparency and build trust with its users. Binance has recently faced regulatory scrutiny in several countries, including the United States and Japan, over concerns about its compliance with local laws and regulations.

In response, Binance has pledged to work with regulators and improve its compliance measures. The exchange has also implemented various security and risk management measures to protect its users, including multi-factor authentication, biometric verification, and insurance coverage for user funds.

In conclusion, Binance's chief strategy officer has denied the practice of hunting user stops or liquidation prices and emphasized the exchange's commitment to user protection and market stability. The exchange's efforts to promote transparency and build trust with its users come amid growing regulatory scrutiny and highlight the importance of user protection in the cryptocurrency industry.
