Just months after receiving a presidential pardon, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao appeared at Mar-a-Lago last week, placing himself squarely in the Trump family’s crypto orbit.

His appearance at a forum hosted by World Liberty Financial, the Trumps’ cryptocurrency venture, marked his highest-profile US outing since the pardon. In an interview with Bloomberg News, the former chief executive outlined what he sees as opportunities for Binance.US as America reasserts itself as the hub for digital assets.
