TREE NEWS update: Binance co-founder Yi He said the exchange’s legal department will provide legal protection to female employees targeted by sexual rumors. She said rival firms fabricated rumors about Binance’s female staff, which some Chinese-language media cited while publishing photos of several female employees. Yi He said Sisi, Yaya, a BNB ecosystem project marketing lead, cooperating KOLs and rival firms’ female employees have also been targeted, and that her own ID was misused in the rumors.
Binance Legal to Protect Female Employees From Sexual Rumors
This is a rare instance of a major exchange addressing information warfare as an operational and legal matter rather than a communications one. The claim that rival firms fabricated rumors, amplified by Chinese-language media, points to reputational attacks now targeting individual staff and associated KOLs — an escalation that raises personal and legal risk beyond corporate brand damage. The named individuals and the misuse of Yi He's own ID suggest the campaign is aimed at credibility at the top. Whether Binance's legal push deters further rumor cycles, or simply moves them, is the open question.
