Odaily Planet Daily News In the first week of Binance co-founder CZ's four-month sentence in the United States, BNB hit an all-time high, making CZ the richest person in the history of US federal prisons. According to CoinGecko data, BNB climbed to a high of $717.48 last Thursday, with a market value of $109 billion, and has more than doubled since the beginning of the year. Kaiko analyst Dessislava Aubert said that BNB's recent rise was foreshadowed in the derivatives market trading pattern in late May, spot demand began to pick up in June, and buying continued to exceed selling between June 2 and 5. She said that BNB is traded on more than a dozen centralized exchanges, "which is different from other exchange tokens that are almost exclusively traded on their associated platforms." Binance still accounts for 85% of global BNB trading volume. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, CZ is currently ranked 40th on the global rich list, and his net worth has increased by $4.1 billion in 2024 to $38.5 billion. CZ once revealed in an interview in 2021 that most of his net worth is denominated in BNB. Although he has never disclosed how much BNB he owns, according to the white paper of the BNB ICO in 2017, 80 million BNB were allocated to the founding team, which is currently worth about $56 billion.
