Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao Announces Blockchain, AI Push, BNB Bulls Wait on Sidelines
Now that Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was out of prison custody last week, CZ has unveiled new plans for the next mission in his life. In his latest message on the X platform, Zhao stated that he plans to keep investing in the blockchain sector, along with artificial intelligence, and biotechnology.
In his first detailed message on the X platform, Zhao said that he would continue to focus on the non-profit online education platform Giggle Academy. He wrote:
“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. I will also dedicate more time and funding to charity (and education). I have some rough ideas”.
Furthermore, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao described himself as a long-term investor who cares about the “impact, not returns”. CZ has been through some stress-inducing months recently along with Binance facing a $4.3 billion penalty in November 2023.
The exchange faced charges of failing to undertake measures preventing anti-terror and money-laundering measures. CZ himself agreed to pay a personal fine of $50 million and face four months of prison custody. However, last week on September 27, Zhao was out of jail custody from a prison facility in California.

price surging past $600 levels soon after the release of CZ. However, the global macro uncertainties have once again pushed BNB under $600 thereby coming to retest the neckline of the daily closing trendline.

and the broader crypto market have been under some selling pressure amid the fears of future rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. In order to regain the upward momentum, BNB first needs to restore the resistance of $616. Crossing this will open the gates for a rally of $800.
