BINANCE’S ZHAO PUSHES US EXPANSION AT TRUMP CRYPTO EVENT Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao made his highest-profile U.S. appearance since his presidential pardon at a Trump-family crypto forum. He said Binance aims to expand, offering “a superior product” to American consumers, while emphasizing he no longer runs the global Binance exchange. Zhao highlighted opportunities under a friendlier U.S. regulatory climate, including restoring banking ties or pursuing a charter, though any move would need the right legal team. Binance remains independently managed, continuing to build products and services for U.S. users.(*Walter Bloomberg)
