Changpeng Zhao, founder and former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has applied for a pardon from former US President Donald Trump. Zhao, who was released from prison late last year after serving a four-month sentence, reportedly submitted the pardon request through his lawyers about two weeks ago. The decision to seek a pardon was influenced by media reports, despite Zhao's previous criticism of the media. The discussions around the state of cryptocurrency, including Zhao's experiences and future outlook, were highlighted in a recent conversation between Zhao and crypto commentator Farokh.
