CZ: “I would like to thank everyone for your care and support, be it writing letters, showing support on X, or in any other form. They all mean a lot to me and keep me strong. I will do my time, conclude this phase and focus on the next chapter of my life (education).
I will remain a passive investor (and holder) in crypto. Our industry has entered a new phase. Compliance is super important.
A silver lining of this whole process is that Binance has been under the microscope. And funds are SAFU.
Protect users!”
