Binance Denies Allegations of Charging Listing Fees and Dumping Tokens
October 15th, Binance put out a statement indicating that on October 14th, 2025, CJ made a post on the X platform which contained false and slanderous accusations against Binance. These contents are evidently aimed at misleading the community and attacking the fairness of Binance's listing process.
1. Binance doesn't make a profit from the listing process; the token allocation is for the benefit of Binance users.
Binance doesn't charge a listing fee; the requested collateral is to safeguard user safety. This mechanism ensures that the project can keep operating after listing. The collateral is usually refundable within 1 to 2 years according to specific conditions. CJ's accusations are inconsistent with the so-called "Binance Proposal Terms" that he himself disclosed.

After Powell's Speech, some reporters speculated that he may have already had access to the U.S. September Jobs Report
On October 15th, Steve Liesman, a CNBC reporter, made a thought-provoking comment after Fed Chair Powell attended the virtual conference of the Business Council. During the Q&A session, he heard an interesting question. Since the September jobs report came out, all he could say was that there were some rumors circulating in the hallway, all asking, "Did Powell receive the jobs report? Did the Fed get the report?"
We don't know for sure as Powell himself did not disclose. But we can't help but feel that he probably—most likely—has it. Adam Button, an analyst from the U.S. financial website investinglive, also noted that Powell's remarks seem to hint at the content of the report. Data since the July meeting shows a significant softening in the labor market; the balance of job growth has fallen significantly; and there are clear downside risks in the labor market. Adam Button speculates that based on these statements, the report may be quite bad. (FXStreet)

Powell: The labor market has shown significant downside risks, and action that is too slow may result in labor market pressures.
On October 15th, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell declared that the slow transmission risk of tariffs is starting to emerge as persistent inflation. The labor market has presented significant downside risks. As risks become more balanced, policies need to shift towards a more neutral stance.
If the Federal Reserve acts too hastily, it may disrupt the anti-inflation task. Data since the July meeting has clearly shown a softening in the labor market. On the contrary, acting too slowly could exert pressure on the labor market.
The Federal Reserve will not attempt to fix the equilibrium level of employment; the standard error itself could be 50,000. (FXStreet)
