Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the co-founder of Binance and former CEO of the world’s 
largest cryptocurrency exchange, is reportedly aligning himself with President 
Donald Trump’s policy initiatives following his recent release from a four-

complexities of his situation in the US in light of his legal challenges,

solutions. This aligns with the Trump administration&#8217;s broader objectives, 
which include bolstering America’s position as a global leader in technology 
and cryptocurrency while supporting veterans and their families. Recently, the

familiar with the landscape. The executive, who chose to remain anonymous when 
responding to Crypto in America&#8217;s inquiries, further stated: For the US to 
maintain its status as the crypto capital of the world, it needs strong 
leadership from its top exchanges and entrepreneurs. Moreover, we need a
