Zhao expressed gratitude on social media for the support he received during this tumultuous time, mentioning a “resilient mindset” amid the challenges.

“What a transition. I am still trying to get used to it. In the past 2 days, a few friends told me I have a “resilient mindset”. Not sure if it is true, but as always, I am mentally stable. I am “enjoying” all the free time I suddenly have now.”

The influential leader, who built Binance into a cryptocurrency giant since its launch in 2017, appeared in a federal court in Seattle. This marks a significant transition for former Binance CEO CZ, who recently resigned, leaving the cryptocurrency community divided and speculating on the fate of the world’s largest crypto exchange.

Investors, however, responded by withdrawing approximately $956 million from Binance within 24 hours. The abrupt departure and guilty plea have triggered uncertainties, with concerns about potential market sell-offs and the exchange’s future leadership.

As part of a settlement, Binance will pay a staggering $4.3 billion to US authorities, raising questions about the industry’s stability amidst ongoing scandals. Richard Teng, a senior executive who joined Binance in 2021, has taken over as the new CEO.

The abrupt leadership change and financial settlement underscore the challenges facing the cryptocurrency sector, highlighting the potential ripple effects on market dynamics.
