The cryptocurrency world is experiencing a pivotal moment. Regulatory pressure in the United States is easing, major tokens are breaking records, and growing activity among developers and investors signals that blockchain has long moved beyond speculation—it is becoming a cornerstone of global finance.

Crypto Market Hits New Highs

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB have all reached record values, while developer and user engagement has surged. What once was a heavily regulated and pressured industry is now gaining momentum in a friendlier environment—not only in the U.S. but worldwide. Analysts argue this wave of support underlines the market’s resilience and prepares the ground for broader adoption of blockchain technologies.

CZ: One Year After Prison, A Year of Transformation

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) commented on this shift on September 29 via X, recalling that exactly one year ago he left U.S. federal custody, where he served a four-month sentence for failing to implement effective anti-money laundering controls.

“A year (and two days) ago, I was released from prison and finally left the U.S. What a year it has been!” CZ wrote.

He emphasized that the election of a pro-crypto government in the United States has influenced policy worldwide, while also highlighting record-breaking token milestones and the expanding strength of the BNB ecosystem.

CZ Without a Role, But Still Highly Influential

Although he stepped down from a formal leadership position at Binance under his plea agreement, CZ remains a major shareholder and a significant global voice in crypto. He has since shifted his focus to education and philanthropy through Giggle Academy, which has already reached 50,000 children with free educational resources.

CZ is also advising governments on cryptocurrency and blockchain regulations, including a signed deal to support the development of Kyrgyzstan’s crypto ecosystem. His influence across the global digital asset space remains substantial.

A New Regulatory Direction in the U.S.

CZ pointed out that under new leadership, the SEC has shifted its approach, moving away from enforcement-heavy tactics. According to him, this has opened space for the revival of utility tokens, growing on-chain activity, and new opportunities in the DeFi sector.

He concluded with a broader message to the community:

“Be on the right side of history!”
