Changpeng Zhao, who goes by CZ, is the founder and former CEO of Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

The Chinese-Canadian coder cut his teeth building high-frequency trading systems for Wall Street's flash boys.

Zhao founded Binance in 2017, raising $15 million through an initial coin offering.

In 2023, Binance facilitated roughly half of all spot trades processed by centralized crypto exchanges.

Zhao pled guilty to U.S. charges of fraud and money laundering in 2023 and awaits sentencing. He retains an estimated 90% stake in Binance.
