CZ Shares First Update After Release, Highlights Giggle Academy and Future Ventures

• CZ highlights Giggle Academy’s progress and its crucial role in his life for the coming years.
• He remains committed to blockchain, AI, and biotech, focusing on long-term impact over immediate returns.
• CZ plans to increase his involvement in philanthropy and education, shifting his priorities after stepping down from Binance.

After being released from prison, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has made his first public statement, outlining his future plans. Notably, CZ emphasized his ongoing projects, including Giggle Academy, while maintaining his long-term focus on blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and biotechnology investments. Additionally, CZ revealed he is dedicating more time to philanthropy and education, a shift in his priorities since his departure from Binance.

Giggle Academy and Future Investments

CZ noted that Giggle Academy is progressing well and will play a crucial role in his life for the coming years. While he didn’t elaborate on the academy’s specific direction, it appears to be an integral part of his future plans. 

In addition to this venture, CZ reaffirmed his commitment to investing in blockchain, decentralized technologies, AI, and biotechnology. His emphasis on long-term impact over returns signals his continued focus on shaping the future of these fields.

His ongoing book project, which he mentioned is about two-thirds complete, suggests he is also reflecting on his journey and possibly sharing insights from his years leading Binance. Writing the book has been more challenging than anticipated, according to CZ, but he remains committed to finishing it.

Philanthropy and Education in Focus

In the update, CZ also expressed his intention to increase his involvement in philanthropic efforts, with education being a primary focus. He mentioned he has several rough ideas but did not provide further details. This is a shift in CZ’s priorities as he steps away from Binance’s day-to-day operations to pursue projects aimed at societal impact.

Binance’s Continued Success

Despite stepping down as CEO and facing legal challenges earlier this year, CZ commented that Binance continues to perform well without his direct involvement. Following a $4.3 billion settlement related to money laundering charges, CZ’s departure has allowed the company to avoid further scrutiny. His decision to distance himself from Binance has reassured users about the platform’s ongoing operations, ensuring the security of their funds.
