CZ is no longer the boss, but a shadow on the wall.

Inna Golovacheva, an author with a flashlight in the dark.

He is out. Fresh, rested, with prison chic and a story that any crypto startup founder would envy: "I built the largest exchange in the world, came under the regulator's scrutiny, spent 4 months of my life in a state hostel, and now I'm free as a DAO."

But Binance is no longer that wild ship with a cheerful pirate at the helm; now it's a corporate cruise with a compliance officer at the wheel.

🧑‍💼 Who is in charge now?

Instead of CZ, Richard Teng, a former regulator from Abu Dhabi. A man in a tie. No memes. No tweets with eyes. But with a mission: "Let's make Binance mature and responsible." And yes, while Teng builds a compliant future, traders are complaining in the comments: "Where is my adrenaline? Where is the short squeeze at 3 AM? Where is the thrill, where is Changpeng with fire in his eyes?"

📉 What has changed on the platform?

Withdrawals in two clicks? There was. Now there's a selfie, a signature, and a blood confirmation (just kidding... for now).

Global listings for fun? There was. Now there’s a commission, legal audit, and a nod from the regulator.

The smell of freedom? There was one. Now there’s the smell of reports, licenses, and paper bureaucracy.

🪙 So how is CZ doing?

He is still the richest former CEO, not having lost his stake in Binance. But now plays the role of a wise elder in crypto sandals: "I handed over the business to reliable hands, let it be boring now, but safe."

Sitting somewhere between Singapore and Dubai, writing philosophical threads, and occasionally appearing on podcasts, like Satoshi with a prison kitchen background.

🎭 What have we lost? We lost Binance as a legend. An exchange where everything was decided by gut feeling, not by checklist, where each listing was a bet on the Wild West, where not compliance, but the community set the rhythm. Now it's a big serious platform, with its pros. But be honest, aren't you bored?
