Trump’s CZ pardon draws fury from Maxine Waters over ‘pay-to-play’ crypto ties

BNB has seen a 5.5% price jump following the White House announcement that 
Binance co-founder has been pardoned by US President Donald Trump, leading 
some analysts to suggest that a new leg up might be around the corner. Related

Active Trader Growth – Report US President Grants Pardon To Binance Founder On 
Thursday, the White House revealed that US President Donald Trump had pardoned 
Binance co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, two years 
after pleading guilty. In an official statement, the White House’s press 
secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said that the US President “exercised his 
constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted 
by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency.” Leavitt stated 
that “In their desire to punish the cryptocurrency industry, the Biden 
Administration pursued Mr. Zhao despite no allegations of fraud or 
identifiable victims.” In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to Anti-Money Laundering 
(AML) violations while being the CEO of Binance. As part of his plea deal, he 
stepped down from his position in the crypto exchange and served a four-month 
prison sentence last year. Additionally, Binance reached a $4.3 billion 
settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ). The White House press 
secretary affirmed that “these actions by the Biden Administration severely 
damaged the United States’ reputation as a global leader in technology and 
innovation,” declaring that “the Biden Administration’s war on crypto is 
over.” Notably, there have been rumors that President Trump could grant a 
pardon to Zhao after January’s pardon of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. In 
March, the Wall Street Journal reported that Zhao allegedly had been “pushing” 
a Binance US deal for a pardon since 2024. However, he quickly denied these 
claims. In an X post, CZ thanked the Trump Administration, stating that he is 
“deeply grateful” for the long-awaited pardon and “to President Trump for 
upholding America’s commitment to fairness, innovation, and justice.” The 
Binance co-founder also pledged to “do everything we can to help make America 
the Capital of Crypto.” CZ Pardon Pushes BNB To $1,100 Following the news, BNB 
saw a 5.5% jump to reclaim the $1,100 mark. The cryptocurrency has recorded a 
massive rally over the past few months, reaching a new all-time high (ATH) of 
$1,375 nearly two weeks ago. Altcoin Sherpa highlighted the altcoin’s price 
action amid the recent market performance. However, he expressed doubt about 
whether BNB will “continue being the strongest major or not,” at least in the 
short term. He suggested that Solana (SOL) could have a better performance in 
the coming weeks, arguing that “both ETH and BNB had incredible runs 
previously and probably need more time to chill out.” Related Reading:

Dump Since last Friday’s correction, BNB has been trading within the 
$1,050-$1,125 range, failing to break out of the upper level for the past six 
days. Analyst Open4Profit noted that if the altcoin reclaims the range’s 
resistance, the price could rally toward its ATH levels and continue its price 
discovery uptrend toward the $1,500 target. Market watcher CW pointed out that 
BNB has two key sell walls ahead, one at the $1,180-$1,190 area and another 
between the $1,200-$1,220 mark, suggesting that the altcoin could face 
resistance around these levels if the price breaks out. As of this writing, 
BNB is trading at $1,116, a 10.5% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured
