#freedomofmoney Binance founder CZ publishes Freedom of Money. In ABU DHABI UAE April 8th 2026 Changpeng Zao founder of Binance and widely known as CZ today released his book Freedom of Money a candid memoir and manifesto tracing his extraordinary path from a childhood in rural China to building one of the most consequential companies in the history of financial technology – and the high-stakes legal battle that followed.

"Binance grew faster than almost anyone thought possible and along the way the story of crypto, and my role in it, was told by a lot of other people," said CZ. "Freedom of Money is my chance to tell that story in my own words and recount the rise of Binance, the challenges we faced – and that I personally faced – and why I still believe financial freedom is one of the most powerful ideas of our time."

In Freedom of Money CZ recounts his early growing up with out running water, his family's immigration to Canada and founding of Binance in 2017 with small group of colleagues.
