"We're still very early. I think the industry still has a lot of room to grow," Zhao said. "So I'm always bullish. I'm a builder, so I always have a positive outlook on things."
At the end May, Binance laid off non-performers and non-culturally fit people, the exchange said. Before the move, the company's total headcount was around 8,000.
Although it has maintained its position as the top crypto exchange, Binance recently saw a 3% decrease in market share, according to a report from crypto research firm TokenInsight.
