Inside BingX: CPO Vivien Lin Discusses  Product Strategy, User Focus, and Her Goals for 2025

Celebrating her first anniversary as Chief Product Officer at BingX, Vivien Lin has been a pivotal force in driving the company’s product innovation and strategic vision. Her appointment came at a crucial time when BingX was expanding its user base and offerings, requiring strong leadership to navigate its growth. Over the past year, Lin has expertly guided BingX’s product strategy, positioning the platform as a leader in a competitive market.

In an exclusive interview, Lin shared insights into her approach to product leadership, the innovations shaping BingX, and the company’s ambitious plans for the future.

The Role of the Chief Product Officer

BingX’s decision to establish the Chief Product Officer role was motivated by its quick growth and the increasing complexity of its operations. Vivien Lin, who holds this position, is responsible for steering the company’s product strategy and fostering innovation in a changing market. Under her leadership, BingX has implemented transformative changes that have strengthened its market position and enhanced the user experience.

“My role as Chief Product Officer  has been crucial for ensuring a cohesive and forward-looking product strategy. As the crypto industry matures, having a dedicated leader to guide innovation and respond to user needs was what set BingX apart,” Lin explained.

The CPO role was introduced not only to address the growing complexity of BingX’s operations but also to position the company as a leader in blockchain innovation. Lin’s approach involves centralizing product strategy to streamline development and prioritize features that align with BingX’s long-term goals.

“This role has been about more than managing a portfolio. It’s about creating an interconnected ecosystem where every product complemented the others. That’s how we were able to drive growth and maintain a competitive edge,” she noted.

Part of this vision is realized through BingX Labs, which Lin also leads. The initiative supports high-potential blockchain projects and fosters partnerships that align with BingX’s user-centric mission.

“BingX Labs has been a reflection of our commitment to innovation and inclusivity. We’ve been empowering developers and projects that bring real value to the ecosystem,” Lin said.

Leadership Rooted in Experience

Lin’s background in both traditional finance and cryptocurrency uniquely equips her for the challenges of leading BingX’s product strategy. Having worked at global institutions like Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, and Deutsche Bank, she developed skills in precision, resilience, and decision-making under pressure — qualities that are essential in the world of crypto.

“One of the most valuable lessons since working as the CPO has been from my career is the importance of agility and focus. At BingX, we have delivered a full suite of wealth management features in just one quarter with a lean team. That kind of efficiency came from having clear priorities and the right people in place,” Lin shared.

As a female leader in a predominantly male industry, Lin is also passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion. Initiatives like mentorship programs and inclusive hiring practices have helped BingX build a culture that values varied perspectives.

“Diversity drives innovation. By fostering an inclusive environment, we have ensured that BingX reflects the needs of its global user base,”  the CPO remarked.

Lin highlighted the significance of understanding user needs, a key factor in her transition into the cryptocurrency industry. Balancing the immediate demands of users while preparing for future market trends has been central to her approach, making her role both dynamic and impactful.

A Comprehensive Product Strategy

Lin’s leadership has seen BingX introduce several innovative features that cater to its diverse user base, which now spans over 10 million people worldwide. Spot trading, for instance, has become one of the platform’s most popular offerings, with over 800 listed pairs driving a surge in engagement. 

On the Futures trading side, BingX has rolled out advanced tools such as perpetual futures with customizable leverage up to 150x, lower funding rates, and a guaranteed price. These features address critical needs like reliability, speed, and zero slippage, ensuring a seamless experience even during periods of high market volatility.

“We’ve listened  closely to our users — whether they’re beginners, intermediate traders, or professionals. By understanding their needs, we were able to prioritize features that solve real problems. Copy trading, for example, has simplified the entry point for beginners, while grid trading has offered automated solutions for those with intermediate skills,” Lin described. 

Initiatives like the BingX Launchpad and Launchpool have also empowered users by giving them access to early-stage blockchain projects and rewards.

Additionally, the platform has made notable infrastructure improvements, including faster order execution and expanded multilingual support, ensuring accessibility for its global audience.

Maintaining Competitive Edge

The cryptocurrency industry is moving at an incredible pace, presenting both opportunities and challenges that require strategic responses. BingX recognizes the importance of staying agile and forward-thinking to address these shifts. Through data analytics, the company anticipates user needs, responds to emerging trends, and refines its products to deliver maximum value. 

Speaking of major industry trends, Lin points to the intersection of AI and blockchain technology, emphasizing its ability to enhance decentralized systems and strengthen data privacy. She believes this combination could revolutionize industries beyond finance.

“I personally believe the next big opportunity in the Web3 industry lies in the intersection of AI and blockchain technology. AI, as we know, doesn’t have access to traditional bank accounts. However, its potential to optimize decentralized systems and enhance data privacy could revolutionize numerous sectors, including healthcare,” Lin said.

Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization is another important focus. This development connects traditional finance with digital assets, creating new investment opportunities and fueling innovation in Web3.

To stay relevant, BingX prioritizes trends that directly impact its operations. The company focuses on improving liquidity, enhancing the speed and efficiency of trading tools, and ensuring seamless integration with diverse blockchain networks.

Broader developments, such as Layer-2 scaling and Decentralized Physical Infrastructures (DePIN), are reshaping the blockchain landscape. While BingX does not develop these solutions, it ensures its platform supports projects and assets built on these technologies, maintaining reliability and accessibility for its users.

BingX Milestones and Future Goals

BingX’s vision for 2025 builds on its mission since 2018: to serve as a gateway for the next generation of crypto users. The company has already demonstrated its resilience by navigating at least two market cycles, emerging stronger each time. After facing the challenges of 2024, BingX proved its adaptability and readiness to thrive.

“We’ve weathered two cycles of bull and bear markets and emerged stronger each time. Our resilience and adaptability have inspired confidence that we’ll continue to lead in this fast-changing industry,” Lin reflected.

As it looks to the future, BingX plans to push boundaries in crypto trading. The focus will remain on offering high-quality assets, a smooth trading experience, and a more collaborative ecosystem. The achievements of 2024 have set a solid foundation for this, helping BingX stay ahead in the competitive field.

BingX Labs, the company’s innovation hub, will play a key role in driving partnerships, supporting blockchain projects, and exploring Web3 trends that align with the latest technological advancements.

“In terms of product development, BingX plans to expand its already diverse offerings by introducing cutting-edge trading tools and features. This includes refining AI-driven solutions for trading insights, launching new wealth management products with competitive APYs, and incorporating advanced risk management tools to empower both novice and experienced traders,” she shared.

Continuing its focus on innovation and enhancing user experiences, BingX aims to solidify its position as a leader in the blockchain space. The company is committed to making a lasting impact on the cryptocurrency industry and setting new standards that will shape its future for years to come.

“Heading into my second year as Chief Product Officer, my top priorities lie in ensuring that every development is user-centric and driven by the needs of our global community. With our 2024 milestone as the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea FC, and a commitment to expanding accessibility, we aim to introduce new user onboarding initiatives that make crypto trading more approachable to a broader audience,” Lin concluded.
