A leading exchange has just announced its 2025 performance report, with user numbers surpassing 120 million. This is likely the first time the industry has explicitly disclosed this metric publicly. Looking at this growth trend, how far are we from the ultimate goal of 1 billion users?

What’s even more noteworthy are the underlying data details—regarding strategy yields, the annualized return for participating users exceeds 60%, and this ratio reaches 10%. In other words, one out of every ten users is making money with strategy products.

From a security perspective, the platform recovered over $500 million in user losses throughout the year, and risk trading was intercepted 24.8 million times. What do these numbers indicate? In an increasingly competitive trading environment, security measures have become a key metric, directly impacting user trust.

1.2 billion users? That number sounds impressive, but only 10% are actually making money. What about the other 90%... Annualized 60% returns sound great, but I feel like I'm in that 90%. $500 million in losses sounds awesome, but intercepting 24.8 million risky transactions? That indicates the exchange itself is a high-risk zone. The dream of 1 billion users is too far off; let's focus on protecting the existing users first. Strategy profits over 60%, but looking at this number every day, I still keep losing... One in ten people makes money; statistics tell me the probability is that low.

ngl if 60% apy is real that's either insane or a massive red flag waiting to happen... sustainable returns don't just materialize like that

1.2 billion users, 10% can make money... This ratio still feels too low, are the remaining 90% all just giving money to exchanges? --- The $500 million security protection figure sounds impressive, but the real issue is why there are still 24.8 million interceptions, indicating many vulnerabilities. --- Annualized 60% returns? Wake up, everyone. This kind of data is just for show; how many can truly earn steadily? --- 1 billion users... Dream on. Just look at the current user activity level to see how much hype there is. --- One in ten users making money means nine are losing money? No matter how you look at these numbers, they’re pretty heartbreaking. --- Intercepting 24.8 million risky transactions actually shows that the platform’s risk detection ability is pretty good, at least it’s not ignoring the risks. --- The inflated user count is just talk; the real key is retention rate. How many of the 1.2 billion are zombie accounts?

1.2 billion users, that number sounds impressive, but only 10% are actually making money? I feel like I've been marketed to... --- 60% annualized return? What about the remaining 90% of users? Are they all contributing trading fees to the exchange? --- Saving 500 million USD sounds impressive, but intercepting 24.8 million risky trades indicates there are still quite a few vulnerabilities. --- Going from 1.2 billion to 10 billion requires more than an 8x increase... this target seems a bit unrealistic, let's be more practical. --- The key question is whether that 10% can truly earn stable profits or if it's just lucky survivors bias. --- Security measures have become a hard indicator, which sounds good, but has user trust really improved? --- One in ten makes money, so I have to ask myself if I am one of them...

1.2 billion users? Wait, how is the 10% annual return of 60% calculated? Feels like the data is a bit strange. --- $500 million recovered losses, sounds impressive, but how many actually made a profit? --- One out of ten people makes money, what about the remaining nine? Suffered heavy losses or still going all-in? --- With so many security measures, I still can't stop myself from losing money faster. --- The goal of 1 billion users is outrageous. First, ask how many of the current 1.2 billion are still sticking around. --- Annualized 60%, why do I feel like my account has an annualized -60%? --- Risk trading intercepted 24.8 million times, showing how crazy this market is. --- It's already 2025 and they're still bragging about user growth. Why not talk about actual active users?

1.2b user target honestly sounds like they're copy-pasting from web2 playbooks... but statistically speaking, that 60% apy on strats? reminds me of UST in May, ngl
