Binance Founder Suggests Trump Could Be Bitcoin’s Creator Satoshi Nakamoto

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), co-founder and former CEO of Binance, humorously suggested that Donald Trump might be Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. This statement followed a presidential pardon granted to CZ by President Trump, addressing charges from the Biden Administration related to the crypto crackdown.

CZ served a four-month prison sentence for anti-money laundering violations and was released in September 2024.
Trump commented on not knowing CZ personally but acknowledged his support, stating the alleged actions were "not even a crime."
Democratic critics have raised concerns about potential conflicts due to investments between YZi Labs and the Trump family's World Liberty Financial.
Despite initial skepticism, Trump has shifted towards supporting pro-crypto regulations, influencing digital asset growth in the U.S.
