binance has taken too many short cuts to where it is. it is here today only because eth 2.0 is not up. it will be a tall order for it ever to get an ipo anywhere. noone knows where on earth its hq is (china? japan? malta?....) or where cz resides (china?), and they can't and wont say. don't even talk about sec....

cro is the opposite, and the runway is clear now. it has abided by painful and restrictive regulations and noone really realizes what it means that Visa is on board, and to get USDC onchain will be another thing... other mainstream players hopefully will too.

The only pity (BIG CAPS) is that mainnet was too late. Binance did it in april 2019, fully 2 years ago at the bottom of the crypto winter. Cdc has only done it now, in the mid of the bull market, with not much runway left. All the remaining phases need to be done within days or weeks, not months, before the crypto winter comes...

long term - cro has the foundation to well surpass binance, no doubt for me. However, i think the challenge is not likely to be binance but other coins.
