U.Today - In an unexpected turn of events, Ethereum (ETH) cofounder and prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry, Vitalik Buterin, paid a surprise visit to the Binance office. The revelation came from the CEO of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Richard Teng, who shared the news on his X page.
Teng expressed his gratitude for the privilege of hosting Buterin.
