CZ: I Have No Relationship with the Trump Family, Willing to Help the U.S. Become the Capital of Cryptocurrency

BlockBeats News, December 4th, CZ responded during the "KOL and Media Interaction" session to questions about "receiving a pardon from Trump, whether there are plans to launch any form of business in the United States, and whether there will be any cooperation with the Trump family," stating: "First, I want to clarify that I have no relationship with the Trump family. I am very grateful for the pardon granted to me by President Trump, which has indeed allowed us to conduct business more freely around the world, including in the United States. I am fully willing to help build the United States into a crypto haven."

Additionally, for us, the United States is actually becoming a "land of opportunity." Because over the past few years, we have interacted a lot with the U.S. market and the previous U.S. government (Biden administration) to the point where we have tried to withdraw from the U.S. market and minimize our ties to the United States as much as possible. We have avoided any ties to U.S. businesses, not invested in the U.S., and have even exited as much as possible. We still have Binance US, but currently, its business scale is very small. I remember that in 2023, the day we were sued by the SEC, Binance US had a market share of about 35%, but now it is only a fraction of a percent, almost negligible. Afterwards, they lost all banking services and the last few state-level licenses.

But now, my understanding is that everything is completely open. So, the United States is an extremely important market. It is globally leading in technology talent, AI, and many other technical fields. It's just that in the blockchain field, the current leaders are not in the U.S., and the largest companies in terms of technology and operations are not truly located in the U.S. Therefore, I hope to help bring these companies back to the U.S.

At the same time, many U.S. investors, especially institutional investors, currently cannot access or have no channels to understand BNB and projects in the BNB ecosystem. We also hope to provide assistance in this regard. So, all of the above are currently open. I am also fully willing to support the U.S. crypto industry, including making investments, supporting startups, and helping projects in the BNB Chain ecosystem."
