CZ Could Come Back to Binance
On September 17, CZ updated his X profile and changed the "ex-@binance" to "@binance", triggering hype in the industry and teasing a potential return to Binance.
Previously, CZ stepped down as the Binance CEO in November 2023, amidst US charges, leaving his place at the exchange to the new CEO, Richard Teng.
However, amidst all the problems that followed CZ's resignation, the crypto exchange continued its work, building in the crypto ecosystem and staying true to its culture and values. It's also worth noting that although CZ stepped down as the exchange's CEO, his support for Binance and the industry never stopped.
The exchange's hard work is mirrored by all its achievements and the growing number of people who trust it. As of September 17, 2025, Binance has over 289 million users registered on the platform.
Also, Binance is reportedly in talks with the DOJ to end compliance monitoring imposed in 2023, Bloomberg notes.
Today's optimistic news around Binance and BNB comes amidst a bullish market, which saw Bitcoin reclaiming the $117,000 levels ahead of an important FOMC meeting in the US that might lead to even more moves upwards for Bitcoin, BNB, and the whole crypto ecosystem.
