Jeff will focus on expanding and enhancing Binance’s product suite, ensuring it remains at the forefront of building the future of the blockchain and Web3 space.

Jeff Li brings over 16 years of combined experience in both Web2 and Web3 product leadership and software engineering. Most recently, he served as VP, Global Head of CeFi Product at a major crypto exchange, where he led its global product teams on a wide range of centralized finance (CeFi) products in the areas of growth, retail and institutional, artificial intelligence (AI), and more. Prior to that, Jeff was at TikTok, where he served as the Director of Product and Global Head of TikTok Money and Compliance Platform, overseeing a team of product managers and collaborating with other cross-functional partners to drive growth and revenue at scale. His extensive background also includes product development and software engineering roles at globally renowned brands such as Instagram, Twitch, and Oracle.

This passion made joining Binance a natural choice for me. I am deeply impressed by how Binance has been able to build an extensive blockchain ecosystem in seven short years while upholding a user-focused philosophy in all that it does.

And, I am eager to be part of Binance’s exceptionally talented team to help the industry grow, discover new use cases, and benefit more users worldwide.”

“Blockchain, combined with emerging technologies like AI, has the potential to significantly improve financial access and transform our daily lives.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

bingx-introduces-altcoin-index-futures-trading:-one-click,-countless-trends

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
