When you hear Binance, you’re hearing the echoes of Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ — the mastermind who turned a simple crypto exchange idea into a global digital empire. Born in Jiangsu, China, and raised in Canada, CZ's journey from flipping burgers at McDonald’s to flipping billions in crypto is nothing short of legendary.
In 2017, CZ launched Binance during the heat of the crypto boom. Within months, it became the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by trading volume. He’s not just a businessman — he’s a builder, a visionary, and arguably one of the most influential figures in crypto today.
