Trump pardons convicted Binance founder Changpeng Zhao
President Donald Trump has granted a pardon to Changpeng Zhao, founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, who served prison time for failing to prevent criminal use of the platform. The decision comes as Trump’s own crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, gains attention for its role in launching a new U.S. dollar–pegged stablecoin. With Zhao’s conviction now cleared, the move highlights the growing overlap between political influence and the fast-evolving world of digital finance. Will Weissert with Associated Press has the full story.
