As a long-term investor, I’ve recently experienced some serious concerns while using Binance that I believe the platform should urgently address. These issues may not seem immediately critical, but they pose significant risks, particularly for users planning to hold assets over many years.
While standard identity verification is expected on any regulated platform, Binance has now made facial verification mandatory for both withdrawals and P2P transactions. Although intended as a security measure, this change could lead to serious complications, especially in cases where users become incapacitated or pass away.
The biggest concern? Binance currently does not offer any nominee or inheritance feature. If something unfortunate happens to an account holder:
Their nominee or family member cannot pass facial verification on their behalf.
Without being a registered user, there’s no defined process to claim or access the deceased person’s funds.
This effectively means that millions of dollars in user funds could remain permanently inaccessible, simply due to the lack of a proper legal inheritance or nominee framework on the platform.
🔍 Why this matters:
Long-term crypto holders are often planning for the future—saving, investing, and securing wealth for their families. Without clear pathways for asset transfer or recovery, users are left exposed to avoidable risks.
📢 My Request to Binance:
1. Introduce a secure Nominee Feature tied to KYC accounts.
2. Develop a clear and legal inheritance process for handling user funds after death.
3. Communicate these policies transparently to build greater user trust.
Until such mechanisms are in place, I strongly advise investors to be cautious about storing long-term funds on centralized exchanges without proper backup through self-custody or legal arrangements.
