Binance co-founders Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and Yi He have firmly denied rumors that the cryptocurrency exchange is up for sale, attributing the speculation to misinformation spread by competitors. CZ emphasized that as a shareholder, Binance is not for sale, though he noted that the company might consider allowing minority investments in the single-digit percentage range over time. Yi He added that Binance remains open to strategic partnerships and potential mergers and acquisitions, but there are no plans to dilute its shareholding at present. The rumors emerged after users noticed significant movements in Binance's crypto holdings, which the company clarified were adjustments in its treasury accounting process, not indicative of a sale or financial instability. CZ also referenced his favorite number, '4,' to signify ignoring such rumors. Despite regulatory challenges, Binance's top investors have always shown interest in the exchange.
