CZ Sits Down With Trump’s Financial Heavyweights as Crypto Goes Full Lobbyist Mode

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao makes power play—meeting with World Liberty Financial, a Trump-aligned group, in latest bid to legitimize crypto among political elites.

Behind closed doors: The undisclosed agenda likely includes regulatory end-runs, election-year influence, and yes—how to keep those ’innovation-friendly’ tax loopholes wide open.

Global gambit: This isn’t charity. It’s a calculated move as exchanges scramble to cozy up to regulators before the next bull run… or crackdown.

Bonus cynicism: Nothing unites politicians and crypto giants faster than the smell of fresh campaign donations disguised as ’blockchain education initiatives.’
