Despite when he's actually released, Zhao faces strict limitations on his involvement with Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, which he founded in 2017.Zhao’s legal troubles began in 2021, as global regulators increasingly scrutinized the exchange's operations.Following his release, Zhao faces strict limitations on his activities within Binance and the crypto industry at large.
