Crypto Community Questions Binance Founder’s Ties To ASTER
Crypto trader and Binance partner, Rune, set off a storm of controversy on X on Thursday after revealing shocking data that appeared to show an unusual match between CZ’s Binance wallet and the Aster DEX wallet. Both crypto wallets reportedly held the exact amount, 2,090,598.14 ASTER, down to the decimals.
The discovery immediately prompted speculation that the wallets could be connected, raising doubts about the true extent of the Binance founder’s connection with the project. Reactions from crypto community members flooded in almost instantly under Rune’s post. One user suggested that the data could indicate CZ’s direct involvement in the project’s internal operations. Others believed the situation might be coincidental but still worth investigating.
A community member expressed concerns that, if verified, such a link could indicate market manipulation. He also went further to question why CZ was recently pardoned by US President Donald TRUMP and why his pinned post on X expressed gratitude toward him.
As the debate spread, many members began calling for ZachXBT, a respected crypto sleuth known for uncovering crypto scams and fraudulent activity on-chain. They urged him to analyze and verify the findings to determine the extent of any potential overlap between CZ’s Binance wallet and that of the Aster DEX.
CZ Lightheartedly Debunks Wallet Speculations
Shortly after Rune’s X report, CZ responded publicly, dismissing the allegations in a lighthearted manner. He jokingly mentioned that the wallet must belong to a “funny intern,” suggesting that the matching figures were coincidental. He also revealed that his Aster holdings had increased beyond the amount mentioned in the report, a day after, and he has continued to “ape” ever since.
His post was perceived by crypto members as a subtle confirmation that he continues to participate and invest heavily in the crypto project. Many community members reacted strongly to the Binance founder’s response. One person noted that his remark demonstrated confidence in the token’s potential, while others urged CZ to continue investing in the cryptocurrency.
Leonard, the CEO of Aster, also joined the conversation, noting that the “intern” mentioned by CZ WOULD not have been capable of purchasing such a large amount of the token. He praised CZ’s involvement in the project, encouraging the community to see him as a long-term supporter and emulate his HODLing strategy.
