He arranged an ‘ask me anything’ session recently where he talked about the expansion of Binance in Dubai. During the session, he shared his daily routine and roadmap for Binance’s Dubai wing.
For an answer to the question, CZ claimed that Binance has not taken up any stakes in Bitcoin mining. At the same time, Binance does not have any plans to venture into Bitcoin mining.

Binance will Keep Offering Integration Services for Bitcoin Miners

Binance has maintained that it is currently working on integrating the Lightning Network. It is worth noting that it is a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin that enables faster transactions at cheaper rates for the Bitcoin blockchain.
