Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, is a pioneer within the blockchain industry with his contributions to Web3 as the CEO and co-founder of Binance — the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem, which includes the largest digital-asset exchange by trading volume.
CZ launched Binance in July 2017 as a cryptocurrency exchange driven by a vision of providing a simple, usable platform for people to trade digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
CZ plays a key role in engaging with global governments and regulators to bring about greater mass adoption of the technology, as well as to advance the interests of wider society, and help citizens navigate the digital future.
