Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) removed the label 'ex-@binance' from his social media profile, sparking speculation about a possible pardon from Trump. Zhao Changpeng's legal team submitted a pardon request in May, and although a 2023 plea agreement restricts his return to Binance, this may allow him to return to Binance. However, Binance remains under a $4.3 billion settlement agreement and three years of compliance monitoring, with CEO Deng Liqiang currently serving as the monitoring head. Democratic senators warn against weakening regulatory oversight, and a pardon could enhance Binance's credibility, but it could also trigger political scrutiny and market fluctuations.
