Changpeng Zhao's memoir details the regulatory failures of the world's largest crypto exchange

Changpeng Zhao's new memoir, *Freedom of Money*, provides a founder's perspective on the early evolution of the cryptocurrency industry. The book, published globally on April 8, details the rise of Binance and the pressures of scaling it into one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Zhao reflects on the sezione of a four-month sentence in a US federal prison, a development he describes as a turning point in his career. The memoir addresses the regulatory challenges and mistakes that followed the platform's rapid expansion in a sector where regulatory frameworks were evolving.
