CZ: Acquiring Small CEX Platforms Poses High Security Risks; M&A Remains Possible but More Complex

According to PANews on July 26, Binance founder CZ addressed why the exchange is not pursuing acquisitions of smaller centralized exchanges, citing elevated security and compliance risks. CZ explained that acquir­ing a CEX differs from other business deals—if a hacking incident occurs post-acquisition, it becomes difficult to determine whether the breach stems from a backdoor left by the previous team or a new vulnerability. He emphasized that while CEX acquisitions remain possible, the due diligence and risk control processes are significantly more complicated.
