I must admit that I like what Binance is doing. They are knocking on the doors of many countries in order for them to operate legally and within authorities' specific regulations. This is probably one of the secrets to the longevity of Binance at the top. Prior to them, there was Poloniex then Bittrex, and then the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese exchanges that also made it to the top. But Binance has remained at the top for some years now. Maybe it will be toppled soon but I just hope it is not the way FTX lost its ranking.
I think the idea of Binance being at the top is the reason why we trust it, not that Binance itself is not trustworthy, it is trustworthy for sure but it should be trustworthy for their security and history and their cold wallets and so forth which are real reasons why people would put their money in there with ease without worrying about any hacking, not because they are top ranked.
So, anyone who puts their money in there because of the ranking do something wrong but also do the right thing as a result. It's like math exams, you do wrong calculation and then luckily end up on the right result, sometimes it happens so it's okay but it's better to know the real way.
