Forbes: CZ's Wealth Reaches $110 Billion, Surpassing Bill Gates

2026.03.11 08:17:21

**March 11: Forbes’ Latest Billionaire List Puts CZ’s Net Worth at $110B (Up $47B YoY), Ranked 17th Globally—Surpassing Bill Gates** Forbes’ latest global billionaire ranking, released March 11, shows Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has seen his personal net worth climb to approximately $110 billion—an increase of $47 billion from last year. He now ranks 17th on the list, with his wealth exceeding that of Bill Gates. The report notes CZ’s wealth growth is primarily tied to his stake in cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Industry estimates peg Binance’s current valuation at around $100 billion, with CZ holding roughly 90% of the shares. The platform remains the world’s largest crypto exchange, boasting a 38% market share and annual trading volume exceeding $30 trillion. Data indicates Binance is projected to generate $16 billion to $17 billion in revenue between 2024 and 2025—about 2.5 times Coinbase’s revenue ($6.6 billion) over the same period. Additionally, the Binance ecosystem includes BNB Chain, which currently has a market capitalization of approximately $88 billion. In 2023, CZ pleaded guilty to failing to implement an effective anti-money laundering (AML) system, resigned as Binance’s CEO, and was sentenced to four months in prison. U.S. President Donald Trump later issued a full pardon to him in October 2025.

F2Pool Co-Founder Wang Chun: BTC Protocol Upgrade Should Not Involve "Political Compromise"

On April 4, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun said in an X post that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt a "riders bill" approach—similar to how U.S. politicians push through "must-pass but unpopular provisions." This is also a key reason he opposes BIP-110 and BIP-54. Responding to whether fixes using BIP-54 have issues, Wang further noted the "Timewarp" problem has existed for years and offers no significant benefit to miners, since they can’t predict who will mine the next block. Its only practical use is disrupting some altcoins, which provides almost no real value to Bitcoin miners—so there’s no urgent need to modify it. Additionally, libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades have drastically improved block validation efficiency, making protocol-level changes unnecessary. "Fake confirmed transactions" fundamentally depend on breaking a double SHA256 collision; if that were possible, it would mean Bitcoin Core’s security has been compromised. Wang added these issues aren’t enough to d

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to consider the nomination of Lael Brainard for Federal Reserve Chair on April 16th.

April 4 — A source familiar with the matter told CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to consider Kevin Warsh’s nomination as Federal Reserve chair. Separately, a criminal investigation into the Fed remains ongoing, probing whether current Chair Jerome Powell made false statements to Congress about the costly renovation of the central bank’s office building. Warsh’s nomination process is moving forward, potentially creating a conflict between the two parallel initiatives pushed by the Trump administration. Senate Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has stated he will not vote to confirm Warsh until the investigation is completed, indicating Trump cannot advance both processes simultaneously. However, by proceeding with the hearing, Trump appears to be attempting to do so. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet scheduled the hearing for a public session, per FXStreet.
