The heads of Binance and OKX went head-to-head on X after a user sent funds to the wrong account and blamed it on overlapping Binance UIDs. On November 7, He Yi clarified that every Binance user has a unique UID, and that the funds had been sent to Binance Thailand, which is a separate system. OKX’s Star Xu wasn’t convinced: IDs under the same brand should either be unique worldwide, or users shouldn’t be allowed to transfer across platforms using only a UID. He Yi fired back with a complaint from an OKX user whose tokens were stuck and couldn’t be sold in OKX’s DEX mode. More strikingly, He Yi said she personally reimbursed the loss from the mistaken transfer, and that Binance Pay had added three-step confirmation. She also invited product suggestions, offering 1 BNB each to 10 selected contributors. The dispute comes against the backdrop of Binance having just been hacked for $6.3 billion on October 29, while on November 7 its CFO, Kaiser Ng, also announced his departure. OKX took the opportunity to poach users. The two giants aired each other’s dirty laundry, but it’s ordinary users who lose out when they send money to the wrong account or can’t withdraw it—the big exchanges fight, and retail users pay the price. #Binance #OKX
