Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) could be pardoned by Donald Trump as Cardano co-founder and a crypto-economic builder join the plea.
CZ was sentenced to four months in prison and stepped down as CEO of Binance, but a pardon would remove legal consequences.
Trump has granted pardons and reduced sentences more than most modern presidents, increasing the possibility of a pardon for CZ.
The call for Trump to pardon CZ comes as his net worth surged after the US election and the incoming president presented himself as a friend of the crypto industry.
