Un dent presidencial es un acto jurídico. En Estados Unidos, el presidente tiene el poder de perdonar a una persona por un delito federal. Bueno, eso no significa que matic se volverán inocentes. La ley simplemente elimina consecuencias legales como penas de cárcel o multas.
Cardano y el fundador de IOHK, Charles Hoskinson , y el constructor criptoeconómico y VC John Lilic respaldan una petición que insta al presidente entrante de EE. UU dent , Donald Trump, a indultar al fundador Binance Changpeng Zhao. Lilic sostiene que el liderazgo de CZ es importante para la industria de la criptografía y lo describe como víctima de la “guerra legal”, un uso indebido de los sistemas legales para derribar a los oponentes.
En el pasado, el defensor de las criptomonedas, Max Keizer, alegó que Sam Bankman-Fried, el deshonrado fundador de FTX, obtendría un perdón dent al incriminar a CZ. En abril, Changpeng Zhao recibió una sentencia de prisión de cuatro meses por permitir transacciones criminales en Binance . Fue puesto en libertad en septiembre. Tras la sentencia de culpabilidad en noviembre de 2023, CZ tuvo que dimitir como director ejecutivo de Binance .
SBF arrojará a CZ debajo del autobús y luego obtendrá el indulto dent .

In the interim, SBF remains in jail completing his 25-year sentence for multiple criminal accounts and fraud charges. Over the months, commentators have argued that CZ has been unfairly targeted amid shifting regulatory policies, while SBF continues to face serious accusations of fraud and financial misconduct. If CZ is proven a scapegoat once Trump takes over, a pardon is speculatively likely. Especially since the crypto community’s support for CZ aligns with Trump’s pro-crypto rhetoric.
During his election campaign, Trump promised better regulations for the crypto sector. Now, he has advocated for the industry’s growth through a Bitcoin Reserve, redirecting the securities and commodities regulators, replacing SEC chief Gary Gensler, and bringing ‘DOGEFather’ Elon Musk into the D.O.G.E vertical. An official forgiveness to the former chief of the largest crypto exchange would fit well in his series of changes for the sector.
During his last term, Trump used his power to grant pardons and reduce sentences less often than most modern presidents, according to PewResearch. But he granted over 70 pardons by the end of his term which included names like Steve Bannon and Elliott Broidy. He reportedly reduced the sentences of 70 others.
The market has already made an indirect connection between CZ and Trump. Bloomberg reported that Changpeng Zhao’s net worth surged by $12 billion after the US Elections in November. CZ’s wealth reportedly made a jump from $38 billion on election day to $52.7 billion the next morning. This proves that there are expectations of friendlier regulatory actions under the Trump administration.
Despite his legal troubles, CZ is a prominent figure for Binance and crypto in general. According to a previous report by the South China Morning Post, Zhao was reportedly met with applause and adoration from fans in a public event post his release.
Therefore, Trump’s pro-crypto stance, coupled with recent market reactions to his victory, sets the stage for a positive development in the CZ-Binance story. But at the time of writing, it remains purely speculative.
