Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the former CEO of Binance and a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency world, recently shared a lighthearted remark about the growing memecoin trend sparked by the launch of Donald Trump’s $TRUMP token.
Responding to followers speculating about the possibility of a “CZ Coin,” Zhao stated there are no plans for such a project.
However, he joked that with the TRUMP memecoin reaching a fully diluted market cap of $71 billion, it wouldn’t be surprising if more world leaders considered creating their own tokens.
Zhao also addressed the various CZ-themed memecoins circulating in the market, clarifying that none of them have any affiliation with him.
