📖 CZ Just Dropped His Memoir "Freedom of Money" and the Crypto World Is Buzzing
Today, April 8, 2026, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao officially released his 457 page memoir titled "Freedom of Money." This is the most anticipated book in crypto history and it is already ranked #1 on Amazon in the cryptocurrency category.
CZ wrote most of this book during his four month prison sentence at a federal facility after pleading guilty to violating US anti money laundering regulations. He paid a $150 million personal fine and Binance paid $4.3 billion. He was released in September 2024 and later received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump in October 2025.
The book covers everything. From growing up in rural China with no running water to immigrating to Canada as a teenager. From building trading systems at Bloomberg and the Tokyo Stock Exchange to founding Binance in 2017 and turning it into the world's largest crypto exchange.
CZ also reveals never before shared details about the FTX collapse and his direct interactions with Sam Bankman Fried. He confirms he considered whether FTX was connected to the Terra LUNA crash.
All proceeds go to charity. No AI was used in writing. The book is self published through the Freedom of Money Foundation. Kindle is available at $9.99 and the physical edition is out today in English and Traditional Chinese.
CZ still owns roughly 90% of Binance. Richard Teng continues as CEO. CZ now focuses on Giggle Academy, YZi Labs, and philanthropy.
This is not just a book. This is the origin story of the entire Binance ecosystem told by the man who built it.
DYOR. Stay informed. Knowledge is power.
