What made binance so good is the fact that easy to use and doesn't require you to send any ID or other identity prove to them... that's what attracted me to binance! It has been my main exchange since the start, and i trust that they keep our info very safe! Regardless of that i bought a ledger ofc, binance might be a safe choice especially since, like you said on the post, the servers locations are kept a secret but a ledger is alway much safer!
Malta has been one of those places where many of the stock market businesses gather so moving binance to malta is a HUGE step IMO for binance!
