What’s in store for crypto exchanges this bull run — Interview with BingX

Cryptocurrency exchanges play a pivotal role in driving crypto adoption and expanding the ecosystem by bridging the gap between traditional finance’s tried-and-tested dynamics and digital assets’ innovative space.

Designed to welcome new and seasoned traders, global crypto exchange BingX aims to break down concerns associated with learning to trade by providing tools and products that cater to crypto newcomers so they can safely learn to trade within their risk tolerance. The platform is known for its social trading features, housing a large community of copy traders.

“BingX has a trading product for everyone,” BingX chief product officer Vivien Lin told Cointelegraph, adding:

“From investing to spot trading and everything in between, we have products for traders of all levels to feel empowered.”

Vivien Lin leads the product team, focusing on derivatives, asset management and user experience and actively driving innovations and strategies. With close to a decade of experience in trading, product management and market development, Lin has cultivated her expertise in forex and equity derivative products through pivotal roles at reputable institutions such as Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank.

In this interview, Lin takes an insightful glimpse at the state of the crypto ecosystem and how BingX works to shape the market’s future.

Cointelegraph: How do you see the role of cryptocurrency in the broader macroeconomic landscape?

Vivien Lin: In the face of ongoing global economic uncertainties, cryptocurrencies are gaining prominence as alternative financial instruments that offer decentralization , transparency and potential for innovation in digital transactions. Their integration into the broader macroeconomic landscape is multifaceted, influencing areas like international remittances and investment diversification and as a potential counterbalance to fiat currency inflation.

Cryptocurrencies also prompt central banks and financial institutions to reconsider monetary strategies, leading to explorations in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that could reshape cross-border transactions and monetary policies.

However, the role of cryptocurrencies is tempered by challenges such as market volatility, regulatory scrutiny and concerns over illicit use. The evolving regulatory framework will be crucial in determining their mainstream adoption and impact on financial stability.

CT: What trends are you observing that could significantly impact the crypto market?

Vivien: One significant trend we are observing is the global adoption of stablecoins. The adoption rate begs the question: Could stablecoins be crypto’s killer app? Stablecoins unify cross-border payments and remove costly intermediaries.

Additionally, crypto is finding institutional product-market fit with the Bitcoin Spot ETF and many similar products in the pipeline. On a long timeline, the daily inflows and outflows to the spot Bitcoin ETFs since their approval are remarkable and set records almost daily.

CT: How does BingX’s “Empowering Traders” philosophy manifest in your platform’s features and services?

Vivien: For six years now, BingX has dedicated itself to cultivating an inclusive environment that empowers every trader, regardless of their experience level, to confidently dive into cryptocurrency trading opportunities from the very start. Our philosophy of putting the user first guides every decision we make. By ensuring that our users are always the main focus of our efforts, we enable them to stay ahead and continuously enhance their cryptocurrency trading experience.

CT: How is BingX innovating to stay ahead in the highly competitive crypto exchange landscape, especially considering the integration of social responsibility into its business model?

Vivien: We have always taken social responsibility seriously. We recognize that a strong and healthy global community is the backbone of BingX. BingX was founded in 2018, and just one year later, we established the BingX Charity — one of the earliest exchanges dedicated to making the world a better place.
