- Changpeng Zhao slaps again at New York-based Wall Road Journal in a submit on X.
- The submit referred to as out WSJ for referring to SBF as a “savior” of the crypto market.
- This might be in response to a WSJ publication citing Binance’s imminent downfall.
Binance CEO and Co-Founder, Changpeng Zhao fired again on the Wall Road Journal, a New York-based information and media publication, for referring to bankrupt change FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried “SBF” as a “savior”.
On September 27, Zhao posted on X (previously Twitter) regarding a WSJ publication, which stated:
“The chief govt of cryptocurrency change FTX Buying and selling Ltd. has appointed himself the business’s savior—and crypto traders are carefully watching his strikes after months of market carnage.”
The publication makes point out of the 30-year-old CEO as a self-appointed business “savior,” referring to his makes an attempt to revive and stabilize the crypto market after it seemingly collapsed following the FTX change scandal.
A number of customers have responded to Zhao’s X submit with half humor and sarcasm, as Bankman-Fried was indicted in late February on a number of prison fraud prices associated to FTX. A crypto influencer and fanatic stated, “SBF to save lots of crypto? What a time to be alive!!”

Zhao seemingly dissed the publication and Bankman-Fried, in what might be a response to a WSJ publication posted on September 26. The publication says:
“Beneath menace of enforcement actions by U.S. companies, Binance’s empire is quaking. Over the previous three months, greater than a dozen senior executives have left, and the change has laid off no less than 1,500 workers this yr to chop prices and put together for a decline in enterprise. And whereas Binance nonetheless looms giant in crypto, its dominance is dwindling.”
Within the publication, WSJ dissected how the “world’s greatest crypto agency is melting down”, particularly given the continued menace of legislation enforcement in america, which might ultimately result in its downfall.
