Changpeng Zhao edit

  • ... that Changpeng Zhao, in less than eight months, grew Binance into the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by traded volume? Source: "In less than eight months, the founder of Binance has grown his company from an idea into the world’s largest digital-asset exchange by traded value. He has vaulted from obscurity to the cover of Forbes magazine, steered Binance to a $200 million profit in its second quarter of existence, and amassed a personal fortune that he claims is worth as much as $2 billion."

  • Article is new enough, (barely) long enough, and neutral. QPQ exempt. Some close paraphrasing issues need to be addressed, for example, "11 days after raising $15 million in an initial coin offering". See report. And the article appears incomplete. The "career" section is very short and ends abruptly, while much of the info in the lead does not appear in the article body. Detailed info should be moved to the article body and summarized in the lead. -Zanhe (talk) 06:23, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
