CZ wants to transform the US into the 'cryptocurrency capital': Crypto report
Binance founder shared his views on a variety of topics in an exclusive interview with CoinDesk earlier this month.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known to most as CZ, is doing a series of interviews. He sat down with CoinDesk for several interviews earlier this month, sharing his thoughts on the crypto exchange he founded, the direction of cryptocurrencies in the US, and his activities after prison.
Changpeng CZ Zhao is an unmistakable figure in crypto circles. Although he has kept a relatively low profile—at least in the United States—since he served four months in prison for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act in 2024, he recently returned to the US.
Why this matters
Although CZ no longer runs the world’s largest crypto exchange, he remains an influential figure in the industry. He is still the majority shareholder in both Binance and Binance.US, invests in several other companies, and receives standing ovations when he appears at events.
