Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and majority shareholder of Binance, is set to be released from custody, which could significantly impact Binance Coin (BNB). Here’s what we know so far.
CZ's Early Release from Custody
According to Fortune, CZ will be released early from a halfway house in Long Beach, California, due to a scheduling conflict. He was serving a five-month sentence for failing to enforce anti-money laundering measures at Binance. His sentence included two months in a minimum-security facility and three months in a halfway house.
CZ voluntarily returned to the U.S. from Dubai for the charges. Though he has remained silent, his legal team stated he plans to focus on family after his release, including time with his children and ex-girlfriend, He Ye, a Binance executive.
CZ’s Role After Release
While CZ won’t manage Binance’s day-to-day operations, he remains its largest shareholder. His influence may still shape the company’s future, despite regulatory challenges and the arrest of top executives.
Before his sentence, CZ discussed plans for philanthropic projects like Giggle Academy, focused on free educational resources for children. However, progress on this project appears slow.
Impact on BNB Price
BNB has already seen a 2% increase, with analysts predicting a potential 20% surge, reaching $722. A breakout from the $600 resistance level could drive further gains. CZ’s next steps and their effect on Binance remain a key factor.
As of Writing BNB was trading at $603.98 with 2.78% Increase in last 24 Hours as per Coinpedia Markets data.
