CZ Shuts Down Rumors of Involvement in Trump-Branded Crypto Venture

Binance’s founder fires back after being dragged into political crypto drama—because what the space needs right now is more partisan volatility.

No numbers, no problem: The ex-CEO’s denial cuts through media noise as speculation swirls around high-profile token projects. Because when politics meets crypto, the only certainty is a flood of denials and a trail of vaporware promises.

Bonus jab: Nothing boosts tokenomics like a presidential endorsement—except maybe an SEC lawsuit.

The report also spotlighted Zhao’s recent request for a presidential pardon and raised concerns about WLF’s blurred lines between diplomacy and private crypto fundraising, which has surpassed $600 million. High-profile names like Justin SUN were seen at a recent Trump-hosted event for WLF backers.

Zhao accused the WSJ of spreading misinformation and acting on behalf of anti-crypto interests, framing the coverage as part of a broader effort to undermine the digital asset space.
