Binance is growing to other countries:
* partnered with Israel-based payment processor Simplex,
* acquired India's biggest Crypto Currency Exchange WazirX
5/Bottomline

Binance has a superior tech team led by CEO Changpeng Zhao, something money (or BNB) can't buy.

But there are challenges:

* Ryuk, a ransom-ware, thought of stealing $61 million

* Risks from future cryptocurrency regulations

* Corporate governance
