When I first learned that I would be named to Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business list, my first reaction was: What have I done to deserve this? My second feeling was a deep sense of responsibility for what lays ahead.
The recognition may carry my name, but it belongs to the Binance team, Binance users, Satoshi Nakamoto, and to every member of the crypto community who helped turn this industry from an idea into a global wave.
当我第一次得知自己将入选《财富》"商界最具影响力女性"榜单时,第一感受是何德何能,第二感受是重任在身。
这份认可署着我的名字,但它属于币安团队,属于币安的用户,更属于中本聪,属于每一个把这个行业从想法变成全球浪潮的社区成员。
如果在几年前,一位加密行业的原生创业者出现在这样的榜单上,会显得不同寻常;而今天,这更像是我们这个行业从金融与科技的边缘一步步走到聚光灯下,这不是我的“成就”,我只是看到了浪潮席卷而来,勇敢地站上了冲浪板,笨手笨脚地学习逐浪。但这份认可代表着区块链行业从小众极客玩家走向大众日常生活的漫长旅程中的又一步。但路还很长,它得我们日拱一卒,一步又一步地去建设,去打磨,这就是我们每天在做的事。

I asked Wayne to give me a short list of things he wanted to work on.
One of those things, in his words, was “lift.”
“When I miss, it’s short.”
So we set out to find a feeling.
I used the tee earlier in the week with another player for different reasons, but it felt like a simple way to help Wayne experience getting under the ball differently.
It also became a reference point.
Something we could keep returning to as we explored other movements.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.
I love the simplicity of something like a tee.
Beginner’s mind.
Something kids use that we can return to.
I make shooting simple. Follow me.

we’re building a financial tool this industry has never really had before!
One that can bring a new wave of TradFi users onchain, the way perps once did, while still feeling native to crypto users.
That’s what real market primitives do, Expanding the onchain market!

I recently spent 2 weeks in China.
6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.
I went there with curiosity.
Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.
I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.
Not because I found a business idea for myself.
But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.
I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.
Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.
And then I kept thinking about India.
We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.
After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.
China is not perfect. No country is.
But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.
They are decades ahead.
The saddest part for me was the currency.
Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.
We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.
But where is the quality of life?
Where is the civic sense?
Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?
Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?
I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.
That should bother us.
Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.
But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.
Again, this is not a hate post.
I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.
Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.
Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.
China made me realise one thing very clearly:
India’s potential is not the problem.
Execution is.
And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.
