According to @Ashcryptoreal on X (Oct 23, 2025), CZ was released from prison in September 2024 and BTC then rose 86% over the following three months (source: @Ashcryptoreal, X). According to @Ashcryptoreal, the post further asserts that Donald Trump has pardoned CZ in October 2025 and questions whether another BTC rally is imminent (source: @Ashcryptoreal, X). According to the same source, these claims are presented without supporting data or official documentation within the post and remain unverified social media commentary (source: @Ashcryptoreal, X).

According to @KobeissiLetter, President Trump has pardoned convicted Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), reported in a post on X dated Oct 23, 2025; the post provides no linked official statement or additional corroboration (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Oct 23, 2025). This headline is directly relevant to Binance and BNB (BNB), the native token of the Binance ecosystem, making these instruments sensitive to any subsequent official confirmation or denial of the report (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Oct 23, 2025; source: Binance). As of the cited post, the claim remains single-source within that post without attached documentation, which is a material consideration for traders evaluating headline risk (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, Oct 23, 2025).
