Binance Back in the Spotlight: Treasury Talks, CZ Rumors, and a Trump-Tied Stablecoin

In Brief:

Binance execs reportedly met with US Treasury officials in March

Rumors swirl around CZ’s role in a DOJ probe into Justin Sun

Binance eyes a strategic stablecoin listing linked to Trump-aligned WLFI

Binance is once again at the center of crypto headlines, following reports that its top brass held quiet meetings with the US Treasury to ease regulatory tensions. According to The Wall Street Journal, the discussions signal Binance’s renewed ambition to carve a legitimate path back into the American crypto market after its $4.3 billion DOJ settlement in 2023.

Adding fuel to the fire are unconfirmed rumors that former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is cooperating with US authorities in an investigation targeting TRON founder Justin Sun. While nothing has been formally verified, speculation continues to swirl—especially after CZ criticized the WSJ article as a “baseless hit piece” designed for engagement.

On the other hand, Sun responded with calm confidence. “The DOJ has been one of T3FCU’s closest and most trusted partners,” he stated, distancing himself from wrongdoing and reaffirming his working relationship with both US officials and CZ. “CZ is both my mentor and a close friend,” Sun added.

Meanwhile, Binance’s next move could bring them even closer to American influence.

Binance x WLFI? A Stablecoin With Political Gravity

Binance is reportedly in talks with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project with ties to Donald Trump’s family, to list a new stablecoin called USD1. The move could serve dual purposes: WLFI gains global exposure, while Binance regains political favor just as it eyes a broader US comeback.

Market analysts suggest this partnership—if sealed—could position USD1 as a challenger to established giants like USDT and USDC, especially amid shifting regulatory tides in Washington.

With Binance quietly rebuilding its US strategy, CZ fending off rumors, and stablecoin politics heating up, the next few months could redefine crypto’s power balance.
