The Rise of the New Elite: Forbes announced today: CZ's net worth has risen to $110 billion, surpassing the former world’s richest man of the previous era, Bill Gates! I checked Forbes’ calculation method, and it’s mainly based on valuing Binance at around $100 billion, with CZ holding about 90%. Meanwhile, Binance remains the world’s largest exchange, with a market share of approximately 38%. The article mentions that Binance’s estimated revenue for 2024 and 2025 is in the range of $16 billion to $17 billion, about 2.5 times Coinbase’s $6.6 billion. Annual trading volume exceeds $30 trillion, covering both spot and derivatives markets. This means the essence of CZ’s wealth surge is the market’s renewed recognition that Binance, this money-printing machine, hasn’t been crippled by regulatory crackdowns but is instead regaining its premium. I feel that traditional finance and mainstream media have, to some extent, accepted a fact: even after heavy penalties, as long as the underlying cash flow machine remains intact, power and capital will ultimately return to embrace the most efficient platform. Congrats @cz_binance
