On January 30, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) addressed recent FUD surrounding the exchange. He noted the negative rumors didn’t impact him personally—even drawing more attention—but warned FUD can harm the broader market and all participants. CZ stated neither he nor Binance has engaged in "meaningful" selling. Any personal sales are limited to daily expenses, like using roughly $5 worth of BNB to buy coffee when swiping a card. He emphasized that while he no longer directly manages Binance, the exchange only converts a portion of its revenue to fiat to cover operational costs, remaining an "overall long-term net buyer of crypto."

He urged users not to be misled, advising them to focus on self-improvement and constructive activities.
