According to Golden Finance, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao made a strong response via Twitter in response to the relevant content mentioned in a report by The New York Times about the Trump Meme token dinner. The New York Times mentioned a participant named SKY in its report and pointed out that SKY had posted a photo with Zhao Changpeng on X and called Zhao Changpeng “cousin”.
Zhao Changpeng elaborated in his tweet, “When I first saw the photo of SKY with the BNBChain logo, I knew nothing about him.” After he posted that content, I followed him. A week later, I posted about perpdex. It was only after that that I learned about his project LuckyFutures, and immediately he reached out to me. Before this, I had no contact with him in any form. From Zhao Changpeng’s description, it can be known that he and SKY had very little interaction before, and the process of their acquaintance was relatively simple and straightforward.
Furthermore, Zhao Changpeng emphasized particularly, “I have never talked to SKY about Trump or American affairs.” How desperate must you be to make up such a story? Or is it that someone behind your back has hired you to smear? Zhao Changpeng’s remarks this time clearly indicate that he has no connection with SKY as suggested in the report. He strongly questions the authenticity and motivation of the New York Times’ report, believing that it is highly likely to be fabricating false information to create fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) emotions.
Behind this incident lies the struggle of figures in the cryptocurrency field against false reports in a complex public opinion environment. As the influence of the cryptocurrency market continues to expand globally, related figures and events often attract much attention, and some media reports may also exaggerate or distort the facts. Zhao Changpeng’s response this time is not only to clarify his relationship with SKY, but also to safeguard his own and the cryptocurrency industry’s reputation, and to prevent market fluctuations and investor panic caused by false reports. Whether The New York Times will provide further explanations regarding Zhao Changpeng’s response in the future and how this matter will develop are both worth continuous attention.
