Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, is the founder and CEO of Binance (the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally). Before establishing Binance, CZ was well-known for developing high-frequency trading systems for significant Wall Street players.

CZ's passion for Bitcoin has brought him a lot of wealth from cryptocurrency. However, his primary source of wealth, which is valued at $15 billion or more, comes from his holdings in Binance Holdings Ltd.

In 2021, Binance's trading volume exceeded $9.5 trillion, surpassing more than two-thirds of all trades that centralized crypto exchanges handled.

This achievement cements Binance's position as the leading cryptocurrency exchange globally.
