Trump pardons Binance founder CZ — a sign of a new era for crypto policy in the USA 🇺🇸💎

Former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has received a full presidential pardon from Donald Trump, effectively ending the most high-profile crypto enforcement case in the USA.

It is worth noting that Zhao served 4 months of imprisonment in 2024, which was handed down for violating U.S. money laundering laws.

In this case, Binance paid a $4.3 billion fine and strengthened its security and monitoring systems after investigators found that some users had bypassed sanctions.

This pardon has been described as a symbol of the Trump administration's end to the “war on crypto.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that

“There was no fraud in this case, nor any aggrieved party. It was merely a policy matter.”

This move clearly signals that the Trump administration is preparing to adopt a more pro-crypto stance. 🚀
