CZ’s $65B Fortune Soars as Binance Boss Bets Big on Crypto’s Next Frontier

Crypto’s richest power player just leveled up—again. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) now commands a $65 billion net worth, cementing his status as the industry’s undisputed heavyweight. But here’s the real headline: he’s doubling down on Web3 while Wall Street still struggles to spell ‘blockchain.’

From zero to $65B in a single bull run

Forget moonshots—CZ built a financial empire while regulators were still Googling ‘DeFi.’ His playbook? Aggressive global expansion, a cult-like following among retail traders, and the kind of risk appetite that gives traditional bankers night sweats.

The next frontier

Insiders whisper CZ’s eyeing infrastructure plays—think cross-chain interoperability and institutional-grade custody solutions. Because nothing says ‘crypto maturity’ like helping hedge funds FOMO in at all-time highs.

One hedge fund manager (who definitely didn’t short BTC in 2020) quipped: ‘He’s what happens when you combine Silicon Valley ambition with a trader’s gut—and zero regard for legacy finance’s rulebook.’ The future’s being built. Traditional finance? Still stuck in committee meetings.
