TechFlow News: On April 10, He Yi (@heyibinance), co-founder of Binance, published a lengthy post on X, directly responding to a series of accusations leveled by Xu Mingxing (@star_okx), founder of OKX, against CZ and Binance. In her post, He Yi refuted each claim point-by-point, identifying six alleged tactics employed by Xu: deliberately blaming Binance for the sharp market downturn on October 11; labeling BNB Chain memes as evidence of Binance’s market manipulation; hiring “water armies” (paid commentators) to suppress competitors; leveraging major platforms’ names for self-promotion (“piggybacking”); and more. She bluntly stated, “You clearly know how to attack a professional woman,” emphasizing that her position was earned through independent effort—not tied to anyone else.
In closing, He Yi issued a firm rebuttal to personal attacks directed at her, stating: “You clearly know how to attack a professional woman—just smear her by insinuating ‘she only got where she is today thanks to men,’ deliberately fabricate salacious rumors, and reduce me to a ‘trophy.’” She stressed: “My identity wasn’t granted by anyone—I forged my own empire. I came, I saw, I conquered—both in career and in relationships.”
Earlier, CZ (@cz_binance) had responded to Xu Mingxing’s public $1 billion bet by demanding he “apologize like a man.” Xu retorted that CZ’s open issuance of such a high-stakes wager violated the professional ethics expected of executives at regulated exchanges. The dispute remains ongoing.
