Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said he was “a little bit surprised” by his pardon from former U.S. President Donald Trump, marking his first public comments since being granted clemency. Zhao, who had been convicted for violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws, described the pardon as unexpected but expressed gratitude, adding that he plans to focus on philanthropy and education initiatives. The move sparked debate over political influence and accountability in the crypto industry. Zhao also noted he would not return to Binance’s leadership, emphasizing a new chapter focused on rebuilding trust and promoting responsible crypto innovation.
