This morning, I saw an update to the Forbes Global Billionaires List and noticed Binance founder CZ @cz_binance's name once again appearing among the top ranks, which truly is inspiring.

What I see is not just how much his net worth has increased, but the journey and the hardships along the way.
Just over a year ago, the entire crypto industry faced unprecedented regulatory pressure and a downturn. Big Brother voluntarily stepped down as Binance CEO to take responsibility for past issues.
During that period, Binance endured tremendous tests, market confidence wavered at times, but who would have thought that in such a short time, it could rebound strongly through accumulation, resilience, and team execution.
Big Brother started as an ordinary programmer and founded Binance in 2017. He faced regulatory uncertainties, market crashes, fierce competition, black swan events… every storm was weathered, which is truly remarkable.
After stepping down as CEO, he still influences the company's direction behind the scenes, and Binance’s core strength has never waned:
The world’s largest crypto exchange maintains a leading market share, product iterations are rapid (from spot to derivatives, Web3 wallets, on-chain ecosystems), and customer care has become increasingly meticulous — these improvements are visible to everyone.
Binance’s revenue and trading volume have remained strong over the past two years, demonstrating the team’s execution capability and platform resilience.
Of course, global compliance remains a hot topic, and recent controversies have arisen, but Binance has clarified multiple times and continues to improve its systems. This is also an essential step toward industry maturity.
I sincerely feel proud of Big Brother: from zero to one, breaking through barriers, proving how high Chinese entrepreneurs can reach on the world’s top stage.
The ups and downs over these years have not been easy, but these experiences have made Binance stronger. I believe under @cz_binance’s leadership, @binancezh will continue to keep building and become more stable!
As the industry moves toward compliance and maturity, we veteran players will have more confidence and witness more possibilities together. Big Brother, thank you for your hard work! #BNB
