According to Bloomberg, after his appearance in Dubai, just one day before Trump's victory in the US presidential election led to a surge in cryptocurrency prices and Zhao Changpeng's estimated net worth approaching $53 billion, Zhao Changpeng recalled in an interview his experience of being forced to leave Binance and serving four months in prison. During this time, he passed the time by exercising, writing books, and discussing cryptocurrencies with his fellow inmates. Zhao Changpeng said, "I don't think I want to go back to being the CEO of Binance anymore. I have been leading the company for seven years. I enjoy this job very much. Although the workload is heavy, I think that chapter is over." In addition, Zhao Changpeng even received a bid to sell his controlling stake in the exchange - which constitutes the majority of his personal net assets - but he refused to disclose who the buyer is or the price. Zhao Changpeng added, "I'm not saying I'll hold these shares forever. I'm willing to review every offer, but so far I haven't done anything. But you know, I'm just an ordinary shareholder now
Now, Zhao Changpeng claims to be a passive investor in the cryptocurrency field, with the Binance logo tattooed on his arm. He claims that his "criminal identity" has not prevented people from doing business with him. In addition, Zhao Changpeng refused to comment on the US election, but expressed satisfaction with the development direction of X (formerly Twitter). Zhao Changpeng said, "I think since Musk took over, Twitter's development speed has been much faster. It has launched new features and the speed of change has been much faster. I am not too worried about the fluctuation of investment value. We are long-term investors
