🪙 CZ’s New Power Network

A NYT profile portrays Changpeng Zhao (CZ) as more than Binance’s founder. From Abu Dhabi, UAE, he operates where crypto, Gulf ruling families and high politics meet.

Forbes estimates his wealth above $100 billion, while Zhao puts it at $10–30 billion. His UAE Golden Visa was reportedly issued in under 12 hours in 2021. He has said UAE citizenship partly protected him from possible extradition to the US. After Binance paid $4.3 billion to the US Justice Department, Zhao served four months. 26 minutes after release, his private jet headed to Abu Dhabi.

The most controversial link involves MGX investing $2 billion in Binance through USD1 from World Liberty Financial. The UAE sought US AI chips, Binance wanted restrictions eased, and Zhao sought a pardon.

🤓 Trump’s $5000 Crypto Bet

DWF Labs partner Andrey Grachev said a $5000 payout to every adult American, if Trump wins the midterm elections, would equal about 150% of COVID-era helicopter money. Some could flow into crypto, potentially repeating the 2021 rally.

The campaign promise depends on a Republican victory in both Congress chambers and lawmakers’ approval. It could cost over $1 trillion. Grachev advises moving everything into cash afterward, warning that a crisis would follow.

✔️ ZachXBT Tracks Lazarus Funds

ZachXBT says he infiltrated a Chinese syndicate that, by his estimate, laundered over $1 billion linked to Lazarus Group hacks.

After the Bybit attack, he contacted a broker on Telegram, committing $349,700 and accepting about 5% losses per exchange to gain trust.

The broker disclosed where stolen assets would go. Messages and screenshots identified wallets holding over $12 million from the hack. Tether later froze 442,000 USDT. ZachXBT shared the data with law enforcement and case specialists.

🤠 Solana DvP Launches

Solana Foundation has launched Solana DvP, an open settlement standard for banks. The MIT-licensed open-source program transfers the asset and money simultaneously. A trade either settles in full or does not settle, with finality in seconds instead of 1-2 days on traditional markets.

It supports SPL Token and Token-2022, including extensions for regulated issuers, and can be used by any two counterparties with a bank, custodian, or exchange as settlement agent.

J.P. Morgan advised on settlement practices but did not develop or approve the program. Audits are complete, and the foundation says it is ready for real funds. Confidential settlement is planned.
