CZ Shares Vision Following Prison Release
Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and former CEO of crypto exchange Binance, shared a personal update on social media platform X on Sunday, after being released from U.S. custody on Friday. He offered insight into his ongoing efforts and what he envisions for the future.
Zhao emphasized several areas of interest, such as investments in education and blockchain technologies. He remarked:
Giggle Academy has been going well, and will be a big part of my life for the next few years. Will continue to invest in blockchain/decentralized technologies, AI, and biotech. I am a long term investor who care about impact, not returns.
Additionally, CZ expressed a desire to deepen his philanthropic work, sharing: “I will also dedicate more time and funding to charity (and education). I have some rough ideas.”
Reflecting on his incarceration, he noted: “The food taste so good … And what a luxury to be able to have more than one piece of fruit per day!” He added: “Let me chill for a bit. Then figure out the next steps. There are always more opportunities in the future than there were in the past.” He also thanked his supporters, stating: “It meant a lot to me, and kept me strong in the darkest moments.”
The former Binance CEO offered an update on his upcoming book, which he revealed is nearing completion. He shared:
Still working on my book. About 2/3 done, I think. Writing a book is a lot more work than I anticipated, but will see this one through.
He concluded by acknowledging that Binance continues to thrive without his daily input, describing it as “every founder’s dream,” and urged followers to stay tuned for further developments.
