👉 Binance CEO's Net Worth Estimated At $28B: Bloomberg

Bloomberg has estimated the net worth of Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao at $28.2 billion – a figure which Zhao has quickly denied, saying the "numbers all wrong."

This is not the first time Zhao has challenged estimates of his wealth. There have been several estimates of Zhao's wealth over the years, with some industry analysts once even estimating his net worth to be $200 billion.

Binance and Zhao were notably sued by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission last month for allegedly operating an "illegal" exchange and a "sham" compliance program.

👉 Kraken Fights Back In Court Against IRS Demanding Customer Information

Crypto exchange Kraken is seeking federal court intervention in response to the US Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) demand for user information, citing Coinbase’s 2017 case as an example of the IRS going too far beyond its intrusive summons.

The IRS had demanded additional user information from Kraken in February relating to any user who made at least $20,000 in crypto trades in any single year between 2016 and 2020.

Kraken’s request asks the court to back off the demand, calling it an “unjustified treasure hunt” by the IRS.
