During an exclusive interview with HK01, he discussed his memoir *Binance Life*, his time in prison, and Binance's $4.3 billion fine.

Odaily News: Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has stated that most of the first draft of his 374-page autobiography, "The Binance Life", was written in prison. He had only 15 minutes of computer time per session, no copy-paste function, and had to use fragmented time between queuing for equipment.He recalled that in November 2023, Binance paid a $4.3 billion fine for violating the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. He personally was fined $150 million and stepped down as CEO. He stated that had he not taken on the responsibility, Binance and the entire industry could have suffered greater consequences, making his choice "worth it."Changpeng Zhao said the most agonizing part of his sentence was the uncertainty, as both the fine amount and the sentence length changed over time. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also issued detention orders three times. He believes this experience made him realize that freedom is not absolute, but his belief in "financial freedom" has been strengthened. (HK01)
Odaily News - The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled 3-0 on August 28 that sports event contracts offered by Kalshi are not swaps, and that the Commodity Exchange Act does not preclude Nevada from applying gambling regulations to the relevant contracts. The court also vacated a prior injunction that allowed Kalshi to continue offering the contracts, and denied injunction requests from Crypto.com and Robinhood.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled in April of this year that Kalshi's related contracts were likely swaps and protected by federal law from state regulation. The two federal appellate courts are now split on the issue, and New Jersey has a September 3 deadline to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review.Kalshi said it will seek further review and believes current U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules do not prohibit sports event contracts. Robinhood said it plans to appeal; the CFTC, meanwhile, noted that derivatives structured as swaps qualify as swaps, and except for onions and movie box office revenue, the law provides no related exemptions.

Odaily News The prediction market platform Kalshi has permanently banned former U.S. Representative George Santos and fined him $71,400. Kalshi determined that he manipulated markets related to whether he would attend the State of the Union address, profiting $17,800 from the scheme.In a disciplinary notice issued on August 28, Kalshi's compliance department stated that Santos made multiple large trades in the relevant markets between February 2 and 25. Since he could influence the market outcome, platform rules prohibited him from trading in that market; he subsequently made false or misleading statements regarding his attendance plans in an attempt to influence the prices of the "Yes" and "No" contracts.Kalshi determined that the statements were intended to manipulate prices and did cause price movements, resulting in violations of rules against market manipulation, trading on event outcomes, and fraudulent manipulation. He was also penalized for failing to cooperate with the investigation. This penalty marks the first time Kalshi has issued a lifetime ban against a former member of Congress. (Decrypt)

According to The Block, Anatoly Popov, deputy chairman of Russia's largest bank Sberbank, stated that Russia's new cryptocurrency regulations will officially take effect on September 1, 2026, with the volume of regulated crypto transactions expected to reach 4 trillion rubles (approximately $46.4 billion) in the first year, and projected to grow to around 7.5 trillion rubles (approximately $87.1 billion) by 2029.
According to CoinDesk, Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, plans to include Ethereum (ETH) and the Tether stablecoin (USDT) in its cryptocurrency collateral lending program, listed alongside Bitcoin (BTC) as acceptable collateral, once regulatory approval is granted. Deputy President Anatoly Popov stated that the bank will gradually expand its accepted asset scope after adapting to Russia’s new cryptocurrency regulations. Last August, the Central Bank of Russia had already placed BTC, ETH, and USDT on a draft list of digital currencies permitted for open trading at domestic exchanges. Sberbank had previously issued Russia’s first bitcoin collateral loan to mining firm Intelion Data last December.

Russia’s new cryptocurrency law will officially take effect on September 1, and market participants must complete their licensing applications by July 2027.
