Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, former CEO of Binance, took to social media to make his first statements after being released from a correctional facility where he was confined for compliance crimes. Thanking his supporters, Zhao explained that he would take some time to assess his next moves but highlighted that he would continue in the investment business. He mentioned Giggle Academy, a non-profit online education platform he founded, stating it was “going well.” “Will continue to invest in blockchain/decentralized technologies, AI, and biotech. I am a long term investor who care about impact, not returns,” CZ stressed. He is also involved in writing his book, having completed two-thirds of it.
