Imagine a person just released from a U.S. prison, yet announcing that their wealth has skyrocketed by 90 billion yuan within a year! That person is none other than Zhao Changpeng (CZ), the founder of Binance. Isn’t it hard to believe? But this is the fact written in black and white on the Hurun Rich List!
Zhao Changpeng not only saw his wealth soar but also announced that he would attend the Binance Blockchain Week on Thursday (October 31), marking his first public appearance since being released from prison. Doesn’t this scene feel mysterious and full of suspense? Are you curious about what big moves he will bring to the Blockchain Week?
In fact, the enormous increase in Zhao Changpeng's wealth is not entirely a mystery. With the total trading volume of virtual currencies rising, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 130% compared to the same period last year, reaching $65,000. This is undoubtedly one of the key factors driving Zhao Changpeng's wealth growth. Furthermore, Binance, as the largest centralized cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has also benefited significantly in this process.
However, both Binance and Zhao Changpeng have not had a smooth journey. Since facing criminal charges from the U.S. Department of Justice at the end of 2023, Binance has faced significant challenges. However, Zhao Changpeng chose to respond positively, paying a $4.3 billion fine to resolve the case and resigning from his position as CEO to serve four months in prison. Now that he is out, he has announced that he will focus on charity and education projects, which is undoubtedly another important turning point in his life.
At the Binance Blockchain Week, Zhao Changpeng’s appearance will undoubtedly become the focus of the event. The newly launched Binance Wealth Platform will also be one of the projects he emphasizes. This platform aims to attract high-net-worth clients through trusted wealth managers, simplifying crypto investment support for wealthy individuals interested in digital asset investment. Does this mean that Zhao Changpeng and Binance are moving into a higher-level market?
However, facing the scrutiny of regulatory agencies and the rise of competitors, Binance is also facing significant challenges. Binance's market share has been continuously declining, with both spot trading and derivatives trading shares hitting new lows in recent years. However, Binance's co-founder He Yi stated in a speech at the Blockchain Week that Binance has achieved great success relying on a mature management system and team support. He also mentioned that Binance hopes to serve more users with the support of regulations and enable billions of users to use cryptocurrencies.
This inevitably raises the question of where Binance and Zhao Changpeng's future will lead? Can they stand out in the intense market competition? What surprises and insights will Zhao Changpeng bring at the Blockchain Week?
Let's look forward to Zhao Changpeng's wonderful performance at the Binance Blockchain Week! Perhaps this will be an important step for him and Binance towards new heights!
