Binance Co-Founder Holds 98.48% in BNB, Reveals Trader Profile Feature
According to a recent report, Changpeng Zhao, the Binance co-founder, has demonstrated commitment to his company’s native token, Binance Coin (BNB), by allocating a vast majority of his investment portfolio to it. Zhao’s holdings in BNB make up 98.48% of his total assets, underscoring his belief in the token’s value and the Binance ecosystem.
Despite the heavy concentration in BNB, Binance co-founder maintains a diverse though small portion of his portfolio in other cryptocurrencies. He holds 1.32% of his assets in Bitcoin (BTC), suggesting strategic diversification.
More so, the remaining portion of his portfolio consists of minor holdings in EURI and USDT. CZ holds 0.17% in EURI, a stablecoin tied to the Euro, and 0.03% in USDT. These holdings suggest a minimal position in stablecoins, with most of his assets committed to Binance-related investments.
This revelation comes just days after the Binance founder confirmed that BNB donations had surpassed $1 million. He is now seeking community input on the best way to distribute the funds.
