Reports disclosed that a former CEO of the world\u2019s biggest crypto exchange increased his wealth by a massive amount in one day.<\/p>\n

This growth is attributed by analysts to the latest results of the US elections, which allowed Donald Trump to reclaim the US presidency.<\/p>\n

$12-B Richer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Former Binance Chief Executive Officer Changpeng Zhao\u2019s wealth<\/a> grew exponentially, benefitting from the positive outlook on cryptocurrency brought by Trump\u2019s victory over US Vice President Kamala Harris, Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg News, Zhao\u2019s net worth increased by $12.1 billion<\/a> in a 24-hour span.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old billionaire now has a fortune of $52.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.<\/a> Much of this is derived from his controlling shares in the crypto firm Binance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency platform in terms of trading volume is greatly benefiting from the surge in market activity among digital assets. Crypto investors are optimistic that Trump will bring policies that will allow digital assets to flourish.<\/p>\n

Historically, it was observed that the crypto market reacted positively to political happenings that are viewed as allowing deregulation or economic stimulus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the campaign, Trump has been floating the idea of untightening the stringent regulations being imposed on digital currencies. Hence, after investors saw that he was winning the election, it created a bullish sentiment benefitting the cryptocurrency platforms and traders like Binance and Zhao.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Binance has a total market capitalization of more than $87 billion. Its native currency, the Binance Coin (BNB) is being traded at $596 per coin.<\/p>\n

No Desire To Return To Binance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Canadian entrepreneur affirmed that he has no intention of returning<\/a> to his executive role in Binance, saying that he will not go back to the crypto firm even if circumstances would allow him to do so. \u201cI don\u2019t have any wish to go back,\u201d Zhao said in an interview.<\/p>\n

Zhao was allowed to get out of prison after he agreed with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) that he could not go back and lead Binance again.<\/p>\n

Despite stepping down as CEO, Zhao continues to have the largest share in the crypto platform and has no intention of selling his stakes in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Zhao revealed that there were offers to buy his controlling shares<\/a> in the company, but he did not elaborate on whom and for how much. \u201cI\u2019m not saying that I\u2019m going to hold onto the equity forever,\u201d he added. But he said that he has not acted upon any offer at the moment.<\/p>\n

Zhao\u2019s Legal Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

In May, the court sentenced the crypto entrepreneur for failure to implement anti-laundering measures while he was still the head of Binance.<\/p>\n

He pleaded guilty to the charge for insufficient anti-money-laundering features, a leniency that authorities claimed has allowed terror groups like Hamas and al-Qaeda to trade on the crypto platform.<\/p>\n

Authorities released Zhao after the former Binance boss entered an agreement with the DOJ which banned him from taking the helm of the crypto firm.<\/p>\n
