    4. Despite being banned from managing Binance, former CEO Changpeng Zhao retains significant influence in the company as its major shareholder. He has also shifted his focus to educational projects.

    Management Ban and Its Impact

    Under an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Changpeng Zhao is prohibited from 'managing or operating' Binance. Initially reported as a three-year ban, Binance CEO Richard Teng confirmed it is a lifetime ban from management.

    Legal Ambiguity

    Legal experts suggest the language of the agreement leaves room for interpretation, allowing Zhao to retain some influence through consulting or influencing key decisions. Richard Teng emphasized Zhao retains all shareholder rights, including the ability to nominate board members and replace executives.

    Shift to Educational Ventures

    Following his departure from Binance, Changpeng Zhao has focused on educational projects. In March 2024, he unveiled Giggle Academy on his X page, a platform providing free basic education to underprivileged children. The platform uses a gamified, adaptive approach and rewards progress with non-fungible token badges, avoiding cryptocurrencies.

    Despite the management ban, Changpeng Zhao retains significant influence through his shareholder rights at Binance and is now focusing on new educational initiatives, aiming to establish a broader legacy beyond the crypto industry.
