President Donald Trump has pardoned CZ, marking another act of clemency for a prominent figure in the crypto industry that signals a concerning trend. US President Donald Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, on Oct. 21. The former Binance executive is just the latest on a growing list of convicted crypto executives to receive clemency from the White House. Even on the campaign trail, Trump promised to make an about-face on crypto policy and grant clemency to individuals such as Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. The president cited instances of lawfare from the Biden administration as a significant motivator.

This has encouraged some high-profile crypto figures behind bars, such as former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, to make overtures to the Trump administration. Read more

Crypto markets that trade 24/7 demand automated wallet protections, not manual vigilance. Passive vaults leave people exposed to overnight liquidations.

While permissionless access to assets around the world is great, no consumer tool today, whether TradFi or DeFi, is built to protect users around the clock.  Read more
