Exclusive: Are Binance's listing fees unfair? CEO Richard Teng responds
Exclusive: Are Binance's listing fees unfair? CEO Richard Teng responds originally appeared on TheStreet.
In an interview with TheStreet Roundtable, Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, responded to allegations on listing fee transparency and token allocation requirements.
'Binance is very transparent, right? So we will support. I think we are very stringent. Think firstly, in an industry, when you are at the top, different people will make different allegations. There are some very ridiculous allegations that I've heard,' Teng said.
When pressed on the motivations behind these claims, he added, 'people making those allegations have their motivation. I'm not going to second guess why those allegations are made.' Quoting Sir Winston Churchill, he noted, 'You'll never reach your destination if you stop and get a stone and throw every dog that barks at you.'
Teng explained that Binance publishes its listing criteria on the platform and invites interested teams to engage directly. 'We have a very transparent framework. We want to work with very good tokens. But we have a very stringent process. We publish the criteria that we have onto the platform and invite anybody that's interested to have a chat to come work with us,' he said.
He pointed to Binance's latest innovation, Binance Alpha, as an example of supporting younger projects at an earlier stage. 'But we also continue to create different platforms where it's not only a spot listing or derivatives listing, but things like Binance Alpha, is a new innovation where we want to support,' Teng explained.
He described the initiative as a way to back tokens 'much earlier' and offer them 'a different pathway to success.'
Teng concluded by reaffirming Binance's commitment to its mission and user community. 'We'll continue to support the ecosystem and the community very closely. But what we need to do is try a good balance between access as well as quality,' he said.

Another retail furniture chain closing all stores, no bankruptcy
Quirky stores that sell more than one type of thing have largely gone away. Before the days of malls, shopping centers, and the Internet many towns had a retailer that just fit whatever needs the community had. Many of these were hardware stores that carried a lot more than traditional hardware. Some of them were closer to what we think of as department stores these days. Related: Bankrupt ice cream chain sold to popular beverage owners It wasn't all that long ago that you couldn't get anything you needed in 24 hours using your phone. Even just a few years ago the idea of buying furniture or clothing online seemed ridiculous. Who would buy a bed or a couch without first sitting on it? And, why would anyone buy clothes without the opportunity to try them on. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Those are actually pretty good questions, but some business in both furniture and fashion has moved online. That means that purchases which once went to brick-and-mortar stores, have gone online. Add in rising rents, higher labor costs, and the increasingprice of many goods, along with the uncertainty of President Donald Trump's tariffs, and you can see why some retailers are pulling the plug. Another regional chain, Trees n Trends, which serves multiple states, has made the decision to close it doors. "Trees n Trends - Home, Fashion & MORE! specializes in unique home decor and accessories, indoor furniture, outdoor furniture and accessories, floral designs, artificial trees and plants, seasonal and holiday decor, women's fashion, unique gifts and more," the company shared on its website., It's a sort of hodgepodge of a mix of items that grew from what the chain's customers need since the original location was launched in 1992. It has a deep history in the communities it serves. "We currently operate multiple retail store locations throughout six states in the southeast, as well as our online store. Our base of operations and flagship store is in Paducah, KY. Each store is about 30,000 square feet with the front third dedicated to one of its core categories, depending on the season," it added.

"We, all of us, here at Trees n Trends love what we do. But the time has come for us to say goodbye. Over the coming weeks and months, we'll wind down our operations and close all 6 of our locations," it posted. "Updates regarding our closing sale will be available primarily here on our Facebook page, so we invite you to check back with us often." The company's post got hundreds of responses from loyal customers. Many begged them to change their minds. "Can't you just sell your chain to someone, and they can continue your business? Don't you have any grandkids that would love to do that?" asked Teresa Carter Campbell. Another poster pointed out that the closing was likely not by choice or due to the lack of a successor. "It's not closing because they don't want to do it anymore. Increasing costs have made it unsustainable," Cortney Beth LaValle wrote. Many were simply upset at the closing news. "This is one of my very favorite stores! It always has such beautiful and unique items, so yes I'm very sad over this news," wrote Heather Rae Parrish Morris.

I hated to see the closing of the Franklin, TN store. I hope you know how many people loved Trees n Trends and over the years, came to depend on shopping there, and miss your stores presence. There is nothing here locally that compares. It's a sad, sad day for your customers," she posted. The Wallace family has not shared specific closing dates or plans for going-out-of-business sales.

Dave Ramsey warns Americans on buying a car
Buying a new car involves multiple major decisions for most Americans, beginning with the process of determining whether one's existing vehicle is due for a replacement. After that, budget constraints and financial priorities come into play, adding pressure to make a smart selection. Financial expert and radio personality Dave Ramsey provides guidance - and offers a warning - with a goal of helping car buyers navigate this process wisely and confidently. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Ramsey encourages car buyers to let go of the idea that there's a flawless, dream vehicle out there waiting to be discovered. Instead, he stresses the importance of choosing a car that suits one's real-world needs and financial situation. That starts with asking yourself practical questions - such as whether a car or a truck makes more sense for your lifestyle, how many passengers you typically transport, what kind of fuel efficiency you want, and how much space you need for cargo. Related: Dave Ramsey has blunt words on spending money to keep a dog alive Ramsey points out the fact that no single vehicle will fulfill every desire. The key is to be honest about what's truly necessary versus what's simply a nice-to-have, and to think ahead about how the car will serve you over time. He also advises taking your time with the search - exploring both traditional dealerships and online listings to get a full view of your options. Most importantly, don't rush into the first deal that looks good, Ramsey advises. There may be better choices just around the corner. But there is one unfortunate car-buying fact about which Ramsey has a warning - and a suggestion to make it work in your favor. Image source: Getty Images Dave Ramsey urges car buyers to start with a dose of realism: Vehicles lose value rapidly - up to 60% within the first five years. Because of this steep depreciation, he cautions against viewing a car purchase as any sort of investment. In his view, buying a brand-new car is something only those with significant disposable income should even consider. He advises buyers to begin by finding a quality used car they can genuinely afford. That involves a big early commitment, Ramsey says, that focuses on the amount of cash one is able to pay up front rather than relying on loans or leases, which he considers poor financial decisions.

"It's much easier to save around $500 a month (the average car payment) for 10 months and buy a used car with no strings attached." In general, when it comes to the common debate over leasing or financing, Ramsey is clear: Neither route supports long-term financial health. He argues it makes far more sense to put aside the equivalent of an average car payment for several months and purchase a quality used vehicle outright - free of debt, interest, and multi-year obligations. Related: Jean Chatzky sends strong message on buying vs. leasing a car Ramsey advises prospective car buyers to conduct a hands-on inspection - even without mechanical expertise - before making a purchase. He suggests paying attention to simple but telling details such as fluid levels, including oil, coolant, transmission, and brake fluid. On the vehicle's exterior, he recommends examining the paint, tire wear, lights, and doors for signs of damage or neglect. Inside, Ramsey recommends checking for wear on the seats, steering wheel, and pedals, along with making sure all doors lock properly. Functional heating and air conditioning are also important to test, and the temperature gauge should be observed while the car idles to catch any overheating issues. He embraces the step of taking the vehicle for a test drive to assess how it handles both smooth and uneven roads. Pay attention to how the engine sounds during acceleration and listen for any unusual noises when braking, he urges. Before finalizing any deal, Ramsey advises bringing in a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection - either at a garage or with a mobile service. Lastly, Ramsey underscores the importance of negotiating the price with confidence. Paying in cash, he notes, offers the leverage needed to secure a better deal with less pressure.
