On Nov. 21, developments in Binance and CZ’s case with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) saw CZ announce he would plead guilty to violating Anti-Money Laundering laws and step down as the CEO of Binance. In addition, the DOJ also announced a $4.3 billion settlement with Binance, and the exchange appointed a new CEO.Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

The market movements show that some traders have stopped depositing their assets into the exchange for the time being.


On Nov. 21, Binance’s BNB (BNB) token went on a rally, defying the overall market sentiment on the day. However, the rally was short-lived as news of the DOJ settlement emerged. BNB broke out to a five-month high of $271.9 before falling back to $237 at the time of writing.
