Key Developments in the Binance Ecosystem
The Binance ecosystem has continued to progress further despite all the regulatory challenges that it faced this year. Furthermore, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is now out of prison and is planning his next big projects in the market. In his recent Bloomberg interview, CZ stated that he had no intentions to go back to the company. He added:
“I don’t think I want to go back. I’ve been leading the company for seven years. I enjoyed it. It’s a lot of work. But I think that chapter is that chapter.”
Zhao also told Bloomberg he has received offers to sell his substantial stake in Binance, which constitutes the majority of his wealth. However, he declined to reveal the identities of the interested buyers or the amounts proposed. Reports suggest that Zhao holds a 90% stake in the company.
