In a provocative statement, laced with sarcasm, Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, the co-founder and former CEO of Binance, suggested that President Donald Trump and Bitcoin’s (BTC) creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, could be the same person. 

This came in the wake of a presidential pardon granted to CZ, as announcedby White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The pardon was described as an exercise of President Trump’s constitutional authority, aimed at addressing charges brought against Zhao by the Biden Administration during its crackdown on the crypto sector.
