This development<\/a><\/strong> follows allegations that the exchange\u2019s founder, Changpeng \u201cCZ\u201d Zhao, is seeking a pardon for his 2023 conviction, which resulted in a prison sentence.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal indicates that representatives from Trump\u2019s family have engaged in discussions about acquiring an ownership share in Binance US, shortly after MGX, an Abu Dhabi-based firm, invested $2 billion for a minority stake in the exchange.<\/p>\n

Additionally, sources suggest that CZ has been lobbying the current administration for a pardon following his involvement in anti-money laundering violations, which led to his four-month sentence last year.<\/p>\n
