Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets Podcast, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said he chose to travel to the United States to face legal proceedings — rather than remain in the UAE, where he said he could have stayed indefinitely — primarily to shield Binance, its users, and the broader crypto industry from the risk of a corporate indictment and its consequences for BNB holders. CZ said he did not expect to receive a prison sentence, as his lawyers found no precedent for a single Bank Secrecy Act violation resulting in imprisonment. He had anticipated a period of home confinement, comparable to the outcome for BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. The Department of Justice, under the Biden administration, requested a 36-month sentence just one week before his April 30, 2024 sentencing hearing — more than double what CZ said the most severe application of sentencing guidelines would have produced, a point the judge acknowledged. The judge ultimately sentenced CZ to four months. CZ described the mental stress of not knowing what would happen next as the most difficult aspect of the entire period.

The United States and Iran declared a temporary ceasefire on April 8, with plans to engage in negotiations later this week. According to BlockBeats, despite the ceasefire being announced just a day ago, disagreements have already emerged regarding whether Lebanon is included in the ceasefire zone. Iranian analysts suggest that Israel, viewing Iran as its primary regional adversary, has intensified attacks on Lebanon following the ceasefire, potentially aiming to undermine the agreement and diminish Iran's regional influence. If Israel does not halt its actions against Lebanon soon, there is a possibility that regional hostilities could reignite.

Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets Podcast, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said he wrote most of his memoir Freedom of Money while serving a federal prison sentence, with access limited to a shared computer in 15-minute intervals. Zhao said he wrote the book primarily to stay occupied and to be transparent about his guilty plea and his own account of events. He described the prison schedule as highly regimented, with fixed meal times, regular lockdowns, and limited free time, during which he focused on writing and exercise. Zhao said he lost approximately 10 kilograms during his sentence and has maintained his workout routine since release. He described the food as high in carbohydrates and sugar with little protein or vegetables, though manageable for someone not focused on diet.

Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets Podcast, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said he had no expectation during his early career at Bloomberg and the Tokyo Stock Exchange that he would build a company of Binance's scale. He described those years as focused on developing technical and professional foundations — coding, being a team contributor, learning workplace discipline. Zhao drew a clear distinction between those formative years and the leadership and company-building capabilities that he said came only later in his career.

Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets Podcast about his new memoir, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said he did not understand money until he encountered Bitcoin, despite having spent years working in financial technology, including on trading systems at Bloomberg and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Zhao said his conviction in Bitcoin and blockchain stems not from a finance background but from a technology framework: he measures innovations by whether they improve efficiency without meaningful trade-offs, citing incremental improvements in living standards — from bare cement floors to running water to heated taps — as examples of the same principle. "I think blockchain is a huge technology," he said.

미국 재무부 산하 FinCEN과 OFAC은 스테이블코인 발행사가 의심스러운 거래를 동결, 차단 및 거부하는 것을 포함해 완벽한 자금세탁방지 및 제재 준수 체계를 구축하고, 《은행비밀보호법》의 관련 요건을 준수하도록 요구하는 규정을 공동으로 발표할 예정이다. 이 규정은 위험 및 성과 중심 접근 방식을 강조하며, 건전한 준법 체계를 갖춘 기관은 일반적으로 법 집행 위험을 낮출 수 있다고 보고 있다. 이번 조치는 2027년 전면 시행될 예정인 'GENIUS 법안'의 관련 조항을 이행하기 위한 것이다. (CoinDesk)
