Binance Founder CZ Is Officially A Free Man - What Next For Him Now?
Binance founder CZ is officially a free man after serving a four-month sentence. But what does this mean for crypto and, most importantly, for #Binance and #BNB coin?
Will @CZ work on other projects, or will he continue supporting Binance?
Let's find out....
His imprisonment followed a U.S. Department of Justice investigation, which uncovered violations related to anti-money laundering, unlicensed money transmitting, and sanctions.
CZ pled guilty and agreed to pay $50 million with the Binance paying a massive $4 billion fine for breaking US AML laws. This is the largest corporate settlement tied to criminal charges for an executive in the United States.
CZ's sentence was considerably lighter than the three years prosecutors initially sought. However, as part of his release, CZ is permanently barred from taking any leadership or management role at Binance.
The big question now: Whatâs next for CZ? While he can no longer hold a formal position at Binance, many are speculating, if heâll continue to impact the crypto industry in new ways. One of which can be his educational platform called Giggle Academy.
So, what does this mean for the crypto space, Binance and BNB? 1. Crypto Industry Impact: CZâs legal troubles are highlighted in the regulatory aspect of cryptocurrency. His release and the fines paid by Binance mark a turning point in how exchanges operate globally. We can expect more compliance from major platforms as they seek to avoid similar situations. 2. Future of Binance BNB Coin & Binance: The native token of Binance, $BNB has been pumping since the news came out. While Binanceâs regulatory challenges and bear market trends have caused price fluctuations, CZâs release has renewed interest in the token among BNB hodlers.
However, given that he can no longer be directly involved in Binanceâs operations, the future of Binance and BNB will depend on the companyâs leadership and ecosystem support.
While CZ will not manage or operate Binance, his influence on the crypto space will play an important role.
Will he build something new, or focus on other opportunities within the blockchain ecosystem?

FTX Creditors Will Only Recover 10-25% of Their Crypto â but itâs about to get worse
The FTX collapse was bad... but itâs about to get worse. Creditors are being left with scraps. Let's break down the brutal truth behind the numbers.
The collapse of FTX left a massive dent in the crypto space, wiping out over $2 billion in customer value. Now, creditors are set to receive just 10-25% of their funds back.
So why are people outraged? The reimbursements will be based on crypto prices at the time of the bankruptcy filing. This means $BTC BTC holders, for example, will get reimbursed at $16K per #BTC ânot todayâs prices. The same is the case for cryptocurrencies like $ETH , $SOL , others. This move sparked frustration among creditors. Many users lost their life savings and went through mental distress. And sadly, itâs not just about the moneyâitâs about broken trust in the crypto space.
On Sept. 6, 2024, #FTX managed to secure $600 million worth of Robinhood shares to pay off creditors. But with so many hurdles, itâs clear this issue is far from over. US SEC might also object to FTX's plan to reimburse creditors with #stablecoins. All these issues are growing a sense of injustice among users. Many users wondering why the legal system isnât offering better protection for investors. The lesson from the FTX case? Trust and transparency are everything in the financial system, including crypto. When youâre investing in crypto, make sure you're aware of the risks involved. Additionally, keep your crypto safe and diversify these crypto funds in different #exchanges and #wallets. Â
The biggest names in gaming such as Microsoft, Tencent, Sony, and Nintendo are exploring the potential of blockchain & NFTs.
That's right, 72.5% of the top video game companies by market cap have ventured into web3?
Here's how and why?
According to a report by coingecko 29 out of 40 top video game companies have adopted web3 technologies to varying extents.
Some have invested directly in web3 gaming projects, some have developed their own blockchain games, and many have hired staff for blockchain roles. Seven companies are actively developing blockchain games:
Take-Two Interactive, Nexon, Bandai Namco, Konami Holdings, Krafton, Square Enix, and Ubisoft. These games can range from casual to hardcore, from fantasy to sci-fi, and from RPG to strategy.
Blockchain games that are in the midst of development, only Kraftonâs Overdare (previously known as Project Migaloo), is set to soft launch in December 2023 and fully release in 2024.
Other notable games include Zynga's Sugartown and Bandai Namco's Ryuzo, which have already launched NFTs exclusive to their gaming ecosystems. Sugartown's Oras act as passes to access the platform, while Ryuzo's Maryus can be burnt to create Rya, a Tamagotchi-like token.
The adoption of #web3 by established videogames companies is not without challenges. Some of the barriers include scalability issues, market acceptance, regulatory uncertainty, and security risks. The adoption rate is still relatively low compared to the market size.
Web3 gaming is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the video game industry. By giving players more ownership and control over their gaming experiences, Web3 gaming can create a more immersive and engaging experience for everyone.
As of September 2023, the top 10 video game companies had a combined market cap of $3,219.6 billion, while the top 10 gaming tokens had a total market cap of $4.8 billion. This shows the huge potential for growth and innovation in the web3 gaming industry.
