Yi He: AI Is Disrupting Every Sector, Not Web3 Alone

Binance co-founder Yi He said the company's mission has remained unchanged since 2017 — "we are not building a startup, we are making history" — and that its slogan, "Exchange the world," has never changed. Speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026, Yi said concerns about AI disrupting the crypto sector should be placed in broader context: AI is disrupting every industry, not Web3 alone, and that impact is both normal and inevitable. She said Web3's transformation of finance is real and significant, arguing that even incremental improvements in financial efficiency constitute meaningful innovation, and that Binance's approach is one of steady daily progress rather than seeking to achieve everything at once.
