Trump Pardons CZ: BNB Moons, One Bettor Laughs All the Way to the Bank 🚀💰

by

So, there you are, minding your own business on October 23rd, when suddenly the universe decides it’s time for a bit of financial whimsy. BNB, the cryptocurrency that’s basically the cool kid in the blockchain playground, decides to do a little jig and jumps nearly 6% after U.S. President Donald Trump pardons Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Market cap? Oh, just a casual $157 billion. No biggie. 🤑

The Pardon and CZ’s Reaction (or, How to Turn a Legal Drama into a Crypto Fiesta)

BNB didn’t just surge-it did the crypto equivalent of a backflip with a triple axel. Within 30 minutes of the pardon news, it rocketed from just above $1,060 to a high of $1,148. Because, you know, nothing says “I’m innocent” like your cryptocurrency spiking faster than a caffeine-fueled squirrel. 🐿️

This little stunt propelled BNB’s market capitalization to over $157 billion, making it the fourth-largest digital asset. Take that, XRP! Meanwhile, Aster, another token linked to CZ, decided it didn’t want to be left out of the party and jumped 12%. Because if BNB is the cool kid, Aster is the slightly awkward but still invited cousin. 🥳

CZ’s reaction? Oh, he was all gratitude and grand promises, like a superhero who just got his cape back. “Deeply grateful for today’s pardon and to President Trump for upholding America’s commitment to fairness, innovation, and justice,” he said. “Will do everything we can to help make America the Capital of Crypto and advance web3 worldwide.” Because nothing says “thank you” like turning a country into a blockchain hub. 🇺🇸🌐

from 50% to 5%. But one bettor, presumably someone who’d been reading too many sci-fi novels, held on and walked away with nearly $1 million. Because sometimes, betting on the absurd pays off. Literally. 🎰💸
