Binance co-CEO Yi He has publicly criticized sexualised rumours against the women in the crypto sector and stated that Binance will lawfully cover affected female workers.
Her remarks came after several days of speculation online regarding women in cryptocurrency, such as those working within the space, project representatives, and personalities linked to misogynistic allegations that haven’t been verified.
Yi He Says Binance Legal Team Will Step In
In a Nov. 11 post on X, Yi He said women who appear publicly on behalf of crypto companies can become targets of reputational attacks during commercial competition.
欧洲可以允许女性进入咖啡厅是1856年，美国允许女性有选举权是1920年，英国废除“女性婚后离职”在1946年；这两天网络充满了亚女、间谍的桃色绯闻，也看到行业内很多女性从业者被动卷入各种绯闻，心情有点复杂。
我一直说我追求平权，平权意味着抛开性别去评价一个人的成就。女性在职场的机会从不均等，除了适龄女性普遍比男性多生育假期外，确实很多女性对职业生涯秉持“工作不开心还可以嫁人”的心态，导致很多企业管理者在招聘上更倾向于用男性雇员，而职场骚扰也屡见不鲜。所有能跨越重重挑战成长为独当一面的女性leader往往比起其他人花了更多的时间和心力。
女性如果公开露脸为公司做业务，往往在商业竞争中被严重污名化，远的中文主流新闻报道多次引用了友商为币安造的黄谣“币安女团原味内裤，私密小礼物”，还反复贴了我们多位女员工的照片；近期除了Sisi和丫丫在持续被造谣，甚至BNB生态的项目市场负责人，币安合作过的一些KOL，甚至友商的女性员工也被持续的造黄谣；更不用说我丢个身份证被盗用莫名有了黄谣，还有“妈咪”之类的离谱传言。我抗击打能力强，吃得咸鱼抵得渴，但无法想象作为员工，他们的家人朋友反复在新闻媒体看到什么心情。而每一个和币安员工打过交道的人，都会知道这个谣言多无稽，但她们从没有找我抱怨过，只是默默的为用户解决问题，把情绪吞下去，用结果说话。
对那些拿性别搞事、造谣的人型生物账号，这些人应该像蟑螂一样在行业被清理掉，后续我们法务部门将为币安对应的女性员工提供法律保护。欢迎对自己有雄心壮志又能脚踏实地的女性加入币安，我们会为你提供一个公平透明的职场环境。— Yi He (@heyibinance) November 11, 2026
She cited repeated incidents of employees of Binance who have been sharing their photos with sexual rumors and young women who have been working for projects of the BNB ecosystem and cryptocurrency influencers.
Yi He also stated that female traders at rival companies have also been targeted in similar attacks, beyond Binance.
Her most explicit response was that Binance’s legal side would cover those female staff people who are impacted by claims like this. The statement failed to name any individuals or alleges a lawsuit wouldn’t materialise but said which courts may be involved.

Rumors Have Spread Beyond Binance Staff
According to Yi He, the issue has resulted in a cross-chain effect in the crypto industry.
She stated that despite rumours that incidentally target her position within Binance, some of the female Binance workers have still been active with varying users. She also highlighted women involved in ecosystem-oriented initiatives and business stakeholders who became embroiled in speculations.
She personally had suffered with false accusations when they claimed information about her according to Yi He. But her concern was more about employees whose families and friends might end up facing those allegations online and in the media again and again.
Binance Co-CEO Links the Issue to Workplace Bias
Yi He tied the assaults to larger issues of limitations on women in working places.
She said work is not equal and that when they do get to senior leadership positions, there are additional challenges for women, such as hiring bias and harassment.
If the professional’s performance is assessed without taking into account the gender factor, it is done right by equality, says Yi He.
Yi He is currently listed as a co-CEO and co-founder of Binance, having different responsibilities in the key operational sectors of human resources, marketing communication and customer support.
Her new remarks, then, have an internal office dimension as well as an industry-wide: Binance is claiming that allegations of sexual harassment made against its workers may get treated as a authorized case, as opposed to simply web-based criticism.
Yi He also called for women entrepreneurs to enter Binance in a bid to offer the firm a fair and equitable workplace environment.
