Binance Weighs US Reset as CZ Stake Seen as Expansion Hurdle

  • Binance is reportedly considering reducing co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s majority stake to resolve regulatory hurdles that prevent the exchange from expanding into key US states.
  • The company is exploring strategic partnerships with U.S. firms like BlackRock and the Trump-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) to strengthen its domestic market position.
  • Speculation about a U.S. return intensified following a presidential pardon for Zhao, though the move faces sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers who view the expansion as a political favour.

Binance is weighing changes to its ownership and business relationships as it looks to rebuild and expand its presence in the US, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

One option under discussion is reducing co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s majority stake in the exchange. The report said Zhao’s controlling ownership has been a major obstacle to Binance expanding into some strategically important US states. Talks are ongoing and no final plan has been set.

A Few Options on the Table

Binance is also considering partnerships with US-based firms to strengthen its position, the report said. Potential partners mentioned include asset manager BlackRock and Web3 platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which is linked to US President Donald Trump.

Moreover, the speculation about Binance returning to the US picked up in October after Trump pardoned Zhao, as Crypto News Australia reported. After the pardon, Zhao posted that he would help “make America the capital of crypto” and support broader Web3 adoption.

Deeply grateful for today’s pardon and to President Trump for upholding America’s commitment to fairness, innovation, and justice. Will do everything we can to help make America the Capital of Crypto and advance web3 worldwide.

The pardon triggered criticism from some Democratic lawmakers. Senator Elizabeth Warren called it “corruption,” while Congresswoman Maxine Waters described it as pay-to-play and accused Trump of doing political favors for the crypto industry. 

The pushback highlights that parts of the Democratic Party remain resistant to the crypto industry’s expansion and could oppose any move by Binance to re-enter the US market.

Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2

The post Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Daredevil Born Again Marvel MCU fans were thrilled that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil was being brought back to life after his unceremonious execution after his show’s Netflix run, where everything was transitioning to Disney Plus. Born Again felt like a moment that would never come, and when it did, it mostly satisfied fans, with few exceptions. Now, according to a new IGN interview with head of TV Brad Winderbaum, Marvel has greenlit Daredevil: Born Again for season 3, well before season 2 airs in March 2026. Originally, the plan was an 18-episode run across two seasons, but Marvel seems to have much larger plans for Matt Murdoch and his series. This is a combination of two things. First, the positive fan reception to season 1. While there were some hiccups here, where the middle of the season had parts of the previously canned version of the show they had to work around, the first and last few episodes were incredible, and that’s the team making all of season 2 and presumably season 3 going forward. So, that’s great news. Second, this is a move by Marvel to reduce the cost of its endless supply of Disney Plus shows by focusing on more “street level” content. MCU series have been all over the place in terms of their focus and their budgets, culminating in the ridiculous $212 million budget for six episodes of the VFX-heavy Secret Invasion, one of the worst things Marvel has ever produced. Now? The name of the game is lower costs. Agatha All Along was a prime example of this, one of the MCU’s cheapest projects ever but one of its best shows. Disney is investing deeper into the “Daredevil-verse” here, as season 2 of Born Again features Jessica Jones, who might be destined to return for her…

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
