Changpeng Zhao is once again in the spotlight of the global crypto scene. Despite no longer leading Binance, his influence on the market seems stronger than ever. Here are the main updates:
🚀 Forecast of the year: "Supercycle" has begun?
At the recent forum in Davos (January 2026), CZ made a loud statement: the usual four-year cycle of Bitcoin (rise-fall) is broken.
Reason: Mass adoption of crypto by the authorities of the USA and other countries.
Quote: 'I feel that 2026 will be the year of the supercycle. We will no longer see the deep downturns that we experienced before.'
⚖️ Legal victory
Just recently (March 7, 2026), a federal court in New York dismissed a class action lawsuit against CZ and Binance for allegedly aiding in the financing of terrorism. The court ruled that the exchange cannot be blamed for the actions of individual users. This is a huge victory for Zhao's reputation following his pardon at the end of 2025.
📚 Giggle Academy and charity
CZ has completely changed his image — now he is a 'crypto-educator'. His project Giggle Academy (a free gaming school) is actively scaling.
In January, he donated $30,000 (all donations from his stream) for children's education.
His personal fortune is estimated at $78.8 billion, making him the richest person in the crypto industry and one of the wealthiest people on the planet (top-25 Forbes).
🏠 Will he return to Binance?
The answer is no. CZ officially confirmed that the restrictions on managing the exchange have been lifted, but he does not want to return. According to him, he is 'tired after 7 years' and now prefers to be just a passive shareholder, giving advice to the management through posts on X (formerly Twitter).
Expert opinion: CZ is transforming from a 'dangerous rebel' into a 'wise mentor' of the industry. His words about the supercycle have already propelled the market to growth in early March.
