Binance Founder CZ Draws Crowds in Dubai, Announces New Education Project Post-Prison

Zhou shared his insights on the sentencing, acknowledging that his was the first Bank Secrecy Act violation case to result in prison time. This is a stark contrast to corporate settlements like TD Bank’s, where no individual has faced similar charges.

During his talk, CZ noted the irony of current U.S. presidential candidates: former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, now discussing cryptocurrency policies. He remarked , “I was just sitting in prison thinking, ‘What if I’d waited two months?’”

At the same conference, where about 4,000 people attended and over a million viewers went online, Binance‘s new CEO, Richard Teng, also spoke of the forward momentum in the industry – especially after the recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.

Meanwhile, the Binance Blockchain Week goes on full throttle this week. The growth and progress of the crypto industry is coming forward, signaling new chapters for CZ and the blockchain community in general.
