Denial of Dealings with Trump Family

Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire founder and former CEO of Binance, has publicly denied allegations reported by the Wall Street Journal regarding negotiations with the Trump family for a stake in Binance. Zhao emphasized that no such discussions have taken place.

Response to Media Allegations

Zhao expressed his frustration with the media's approach, stating that numerous individuals were contacted to confirm a pardon deal, which he categorically denies. He views the report as an attempt to fabricate a story, highlighting his commitment to the crypto industry's growth globally.

Commitment to Crypto Growth

Despite the controversy, Zhao remains focused on advancing the cryptocurrency sector, both in the United States and worldwide. He sees the allegations as an attack not just on him but on the crypto industry as a whole, by forces opposed to its growth.
