CZ Returns to US for Trump-Backed Crypto Event

Crypto News

@cryptonews

Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) returned to the United States this week for the first time since his release from a California federal prison in 2024.

The visit took place at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where Zhao attended a 500-person convention hosted by the Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial.

CZ Makes Appearance at Crypto Event

A Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report revealed that the gathering brought together prominent figures from finance, technology, and entertainment.

Guests included Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, New York Stock Exchange president Lynn Martin, “Shark Tank” personality Kevin O’Leary, and Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong, who had also attended a smaller VIP dinner on Tuesday evening alongside Trump’s sons and CZ. Rapper Nicki Minaj, who has publicly supported the Trump administration, also held a “fireside chat” on that day.

Posting on X during the occasion, Zhao shared a photo of himself listening to a top federal crypto regulator, writing, “Learned a lot.”

CZ, whose crypto exchange has been barred from operating in the U.S. since 2023 for violating anti-money-laundering rules, pleaded guilty to a related charge that same year. He was then sentenced in April 2024 to four months in prison and officially released in late September after serving his term.

Later in October 2025, the crypto entrepreneur received a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump. During a recent interview on the “All-In” podcast, Zhao said he “didn’t do anything” to secure the clemency but noted that it could help the exchange resume its efforts to return to the American market.

World Liberty Unveils Ambitious Crypto Vision

World Liberty’s leadership used the occasion to lay out its vision for the cryptocurrency industry. CEO Zach Witkoff described the company’s goal as creating a “new digital Bretton Woods system,” referencing the 1944 conference that established a post-war economic order.

His co-founders, the Trump sons, talked about the scale of the event, with Donald Trump Jr. joking about how much it would have been unimaginable a year ago. Meanwhile, Eric Trump compared it to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saying it offered “better hospitality, better food, better weather, better group of people, less wokeness.”

The firm also promoted its stablecoin, USD1, and outlined plans to sell digital tokens that would give accredited investors a share of loan revenues from a Trump resort under development in the Maldives.

The president’s sons also addressed questions about foreign investment in World Liberty, including a $500 million deal with a senior Abu Dhabi royal, stressing that such moves are standard in global finance and unrelated to government agreements.

Several other Trump administration officials were also in attendance, including Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig and Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg.

3 Altcoins Crypto Whales are Buying After Supreme Court’s Trump Tariff Ban

The Supreme Court’s decision to ban Donald Trump’s tariffs has quietly shifted global market sentiment. Stocks reacted first, but crypto whales appear to be moving as well. BeInCrypto analysts tracking blockchain flows have identified early accumulation across three altcoins, signaling positioning ahead of a potential liquidity shift. Tariff removal can ease inflation pressure and improve risk appetite, conditions that often favor speculative assets. This suggests crypto whales may already be preparing for the next phase of macro-driven crypto momentum, provided…

Solana Price Faces a Bull Trap as 50% Holders Exit

Solana’s price rose 2.9% over the past 24 hours and broke above a key inverse head-and-shoulders neckline on the 12-hour chart. This breakout typically signals a trend reversal and offers more than 50% upside potential. But the breakout is happening while long-term holders exit aggressively and leverage builds quickly. These conflicting signals now create a classic bull trap risk where early buyers could get caught if momentum fails. Breakout Shows 50% Upside Potential Solana recently broke above the neckline of…

XRP Flaunts a 3-Week ETF Inflow Streak, So Why is Price Still Stuck Below $1.50?

Strategy CEO Says Basel Capital Rules Limit Bank Bitcoin Adoption

Strategy CEO Phong Le posted on X that the Basel Accords set global bank capital standards and risk-weighting rules, and that these frameworks materially shape how banks participate in digital-asset business, including Bitcoin. In the same message, Le argues the United States should reassess how it implements Basel-related capital and risk-weight treatment if it wants to position itself as a “global crypto capital.” The framing matters because it shifts the conversation from bank “interest” or technical readiness to the part...

Bitcoin ETFs Still Show About $53B Net Inflows After Two Years

US spot Bitcoin ETFs still sit on a large positive net-inflow base even after the recent drawdown cycle. Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst Eric Balchunas saying cumulative net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs peaked around $63 billion in October and now sit around $53 billion. The framing is intentionally “net net” because it describes how much capital has stayed in the ETF channel after redemptions, rather than how large the products are in total assets. Balchunas also points out that his team’s...

Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Remains Negative for 36 Days, Hinting at Persistent US Sell Pressure

CoinGlass data indicates the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index has remained negative for 36 consecutive days, with the reading around -0.0467% at the time of the update. This is the longest negative streak since May 2023 and frames it as a market-structure signal that can reflect heavier US-side sell pressure during a range-bound market. What The Coinbase Premium Index Measures The Coinbase premium index is a simple but popular proxy for regional marginal demand. It tracks whether BTC on Coinbase is...

Strategy’s Paper Loss Widens as BTC Trades Below Its Reported Average Cost

On-chain analytics suggests Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury is deeper underwater again, with an estimated unrealized loss around $6.7 billion as Bitcoin trades below the company’s reported average purchase price. Arkham-derived figures put Strategy’s average cost at $76,027 and notes BTC is about 12.4% below that level, producing the paper loss estimate. While the unrealized loss number is not an accounting disclosure by itself, it sits on top of two company-published anchors that the market watches closely: total BTC holdings and average...

Vitalik Rejects “Slow Death” Proposal and Maps Four Upgrade Tracks for Ethereum

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin pushed back on a community proposal that argued Ethereum should be allowed to “slowly die” through fragmentation, then be rebuilt from scratch as a purer cypherpunk chain. Rather than accepting a clean break, Buterin’s reply outlines a “tight coupling” path: evolve the current system through staged, progressive upgrades, while preserving seamless interoperability and migrating the existing system via smart contracts within about five years. Why This Matters The argument is about architecture, not branding. Ethereum’s scaling...

Can Ethereum Reach $3,000 This Month?

Ethereum trades near $2,050. A move from $2,050 to $3,000 requires about a +46.3% gain. That is not impossible in crypto, but it is structurally harder than a 10% to 15% month. For context, when ETH is in a true risk-on regime, it can move 30% to 60% quickly. In a mixed regime where BTC dominance stays high, ETH rallies tend to stall unless there is a clear catalyst or ETH/BTC breaks out. The BTC dominance is in the upper-50%...

ETH Community Circulates On-Chain Link Claiming a $260M Liquidation

A rumor of a roughly $260 million liquidation spread through Ethereum trader circles on Feb 13, 2026, after users in r/ethtrader’s Daily General Discussion thread referenced a large wipeout and shared an on-chain style link for others to inspect. The claim gained extra traction because a separate r/ethtrader post explicitly framed the event as “Garett Jin just got liquidated 260 Million,” and pointed readers to a wallet dashboard for the address it associates with the move. In other words, this is...

Trend Research Deposits 45,000 ETH to Binance as Exchange Inflows Spike

Trend Research deposited 45,000 ETH (about $105 million) into Binance today, with the same note claiming 118,500 ETH deposited since Feb. 1. The post also framed the inflows as part of an ongoing risk-management loop rather than a single isolated transfer. That distinction matters, because multi-day exchange inflows usually show a process: assets move from longer-term custody into venue liquidity. It can still end in spot selling, but it can also reflect hedging, OTC settlement, or a collateral rotation where...

Crypto vs Stocks: What Are the Differences?

What Stocks Represent Stocks are securities that represent ownership in a company. A share gives the holder an equity interest, and it can also provide voting rights and potential dividend payments depending on the company’s policy. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s investor education portal summarizes this clearly in its stocks FAQ. Because stocks represent claims on a business, their long-term value is linked to corporate performance, competitive position, management execution, and broader economic conditions. Shareholders can benefit from earnings...

Best Swap Aggregators in 2026

Swap aggregators solve the main problem of on-chain trading: fragmented liquidity. When liquidity is spread across many pools and venues, a direct swap often produces unnecessary slippage. Aggregators calculate routes, split orders across venues, and can reduce effective price impact. In 2026, routing quality is often more important than “the biggest DEX.” Many users get better fills by letting an aggregator search multiple sources. Top Swap Aggregators to Use 1inch 1inch is a widely used aggregator with mature routing logic...

KuCoin: INX Spot Listing, Bot Delists, Metals Perps, And Futures Delisting Window

Deposits are live immediately on the ETH-ERC20 network, while withdrawals open at 10:00 UTC on January 31, 2026. That withdrawal timing matters because it controls exit optionality if spreads widen after launch. The main driver behind first-day listing chaos is microstructure, not narrative. New books start...
