Binance founder Changpeng Zhao forecasts a cryptocurrency 'super cycle' amid U.S. regulatory progress, including the Senate Banking Committee's markup of the CLARITY Act on January 15, 2026, following the GENIUS Act's stablecoin framework.
Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ and former CEO of Binance, has dismissed accusations that the exchange triggered a massive $19 billion cryptocurrency market crash last October. In a live session, he described the claims as far-fetched, emphasizing broader market forces at play. Binance has since compensated affected users with around $600 million.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, leaders from Binance, Circle, and Coinbase expressed optimism about AI's role in reshaping cryptocurrency.

US President Donald Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the founder of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, who served four months in prison for anti-money laundering violations. The move, announced on October 23, 2025, draws praise from the crypto industry but criticism over potential conflicts tied to the Trump family's business interests. White House officials framed it as ending the previous administration's 'war on crypto.'
