In the world of cryptocurrency, the speed and impact of information dissemination often exceed imagination. Recently, a report about Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) accepting an interview with Caixin after receiving a presidential pardon from Trump, where he expressed significant views on stablecoins and the internationalization of the renminbi, quickly sparked heated discussions in the crypto community. The report stated that CZ would continue to focus on the investment business of his family office YZi Labs and serve as a crypto industry advisor to multiple governments, even suggesting that Chinese authorities should seriously consider the application of a renminbi stablecoin. However, just as the market was widely interpreting these statements, Zhao Changpeng himself urgently clarified on social platform X: "I haven't accepted any interviews recently, nor have I said these things." This dramatic reversal not only reveals the complexity of information dissemination but also highlights the enormous influence of statements made by leaders in the crypto industry during sensitive times, as well as the potential political considerations behind them.
- Caixin Report Sparks Discussion: CZ's "Post-Pardon" New Moves and Suggestions for China
On October 27, 2025, Caixin reported that Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) had officially received a pardon from Trump and stated that he would continue to focus his energy on the investment business of his family office YZi Labs while being invited to serve as a crypto industry advisor to multiple governments.
CZ's "New Identity": The report indicated that after the pardon, CZ would continue to devote more energy to YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) investment business, rather than the rumored immediate return to Binance's front line. At the same time, he is being invited to serve as an official crypto industry advisor to multiple governments, effectively entering the political arena as a committee advisor.
Views on Stablecoins: Caixin also pointed out that CZ expressed his views on stablecoins, believing that stablecoins are essentially a means of financing for the government, which would not reject them; at the same time, CZ suggested that Chinese authorities should seriously consider the application of a renminbi stablecoin and not let the market be handed over to others.
Community Interpretation: The community interpreted CZ's remarks as full of implications, perhaps suggesting that China should maintain an open attitude towards cryptocurrencies. As a significant figure in the crypto space, CZ's words are thought-provoking.
- Zhao Changpeng Urgently Clarifies: I Never Said Those Words!
However, just as the market was widely interpreting the Caixin report, Zhao Changpeng himself urgently clarified on social platform X, denying that he had recently accepted an interview and made related statements.
Clarification Content: CZ posted on X, stating: "Although it sounds quite reasonable. But I haven't accepted any interviews recently, nor have I said these things." He then responded again, saying: "Although it sounds quite reasonable. But… I was interviewed in September. Not recently. I haven't accepted any interviews since the pardon."
Focus of Clarification: The community interpreted that while the pardon and the news about YZi Labs are undoubtedly factual, it is perhaps the suggestions regarding China that CZ wanted to clarify. After all, China currently maintains a ban on cryptocurrencies, and despite being the founder of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, CZ does not want to be labeled by the Chinese authorities.
- The Complexity of Information Dissemination and the Influence of Crypto Industry Leaders
This incident once again highlights the complexity, sensitivity, and significant influence of statements made by leaders in the cryptocurrency field.
Media Reporting Rigor: Publishing unverified statements without confirmation from the parties involved can mislead the market and the individuals concerned.
Responsibility of Crypto Industry Leaders: As the founder of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, CZ's every word and action can have a significant impact on the market. During sensitive times, the authenticity and accuracy of his statements are crucial.
Information Echo Chambers and Rumor Dissemination: The characteristics of social media and the crypto community make it easier for unverified news to be amplified and spread, creating information echo chambers and exacerbating market volatility.
- China's Regulatory Attitude Towards Cryptocurrencies and Strategic Considerations for the Renminbi Stablecoin
This incident also brings China's regulatory attitude towards cryptocurrencies and the strategic considerations for the renminbi stablecoin to the forefront.
Strict Regulation: China currently maintains a ban on cryptocurrencies, strictly prohibiting cryptocurrency trading and mining.
Strategic Significance of the Renminbi Stablecoin: Nevertheless, the application of a renminbi stablecoin still holds strategic significance. Stablecoin issuers will use most of their funds to buy U.S. Treasury bonds, so essentially, stablecoins are also a means of financing for the government, and no local government would reject this. At the same time, the cryptocurrency industry itself will drive innovation in upstream and downstream industries such as electricity and energy.
Prudence of Chinese Authorities: The Chinese authorities take a cautious approach to the issuance and application of the renminbi stablecoin, mainly promoting it through the central bank's digital renminbi (e-CNY).
Conclusion:
Zhao Changpeng's clarification that he did not accept an interview with Caixin and denied the statement suggesting that China should develop a renminbi stablecoin is a dramatic reversal event that has recently occurred in the cryptocurrency field. This not only reminds us to remain vigilant against any unverified news in the age of information explosion but also highlights the significant influence of statements made by leaders in the crypto industry and the potential political considerations behind them. In the current context of strict regulation of cryptocurrencies in China, any statements involving Chinese policies must be treated with caution.
