The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, reached a significant agreement with the U.S. government at the end of last year. Despite the ongoing regulatory uncertainties in the U.S. that have challenged numerous crypto businesses, under the leadership of CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance has accomplished remarkable feats, albeit at a steep price.
Binance CZ
Former CEO CZ will not be able to lead the exchange for the rest of his life due to the company’s decision stemming from a deal with the Justice Department. Current management acknowledged that CZ remains a pivotal figure for the exchange, but they had to make this difficult choice. CZ continues to hold a significant stake in the company and remains a key player in the crypto industry.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently shared insights on why CZ deserves respect and highlighted his achievements. He noted that when the intrinsic value of an industry lags behind the capital it attracts, society tends to view it as a “sin.” In such cases, the figures labeled as guilty are often those who built and contributed to the industry.
BNB Coin Outlook
CZ’s release from custody is an emotionally positive development for BNB Coin. Although he no longer has a managerial role in the company, his legacy continues to positively influence Binance and BNB Coin. This anticipation has contributed to a 21% price increase over the past 16 days.
Currently, with the price maintaining support at $480, it is targeting key resistance at $635, with potential for further gains. BNB Coin has been the only major cryptocurrency this year, aside from Bitcoin 
$98,485, to break its all-time high.
