Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, announced the completion of final edits for his forthcoming memoir this weekend. The publication will include comprehensive details about his incarceration period following his 2023 legal settlement with U.S. authorities.
In a social media update, Zhao confirmed the manuscript’s near-final status, emphasizing its unvarnished approach to documenting his experiences. The memoir promises to deliver unprecedented transparency about the circumstances surrounding his imprisonment and the personal reflections during this period.
The publication marks a significant milestone for the former cryptocurrency executive, who stepped down from his leadership position at Binance as part of his settlement agreement. Industry observers anticipate the memoir will provide unique insights into both the operational challenges of running the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and the personal consequences of regulatory compliance matters.
While specific release dates and publishing partners remain undisclosed, the announcement has generated substantial interest across financial and technology sectors. The memoir is expected to offer valuable perspectives on cryptocurrency regulation, corporate governance, and personal accountability from one of the industry’s most influential figures.
