A fresh controversy has erupted in the crypto world after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reposted a tweet accusing Coinbase of secretly working against both Binance and U.S. President Donald Trump’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.
The claim came from crypto influencer Matt Wallace, who said that new evidence shows Coinbase was the âanonymousâ source behind negative reports targeting Trumpâs project and Binance. According to Wallace, Coinbase executives feared that if Trump returned to power and offered a possible pardon to CZ, it could clear the way for Binance to re-enter the U.S. market.
As it stands, Binance remains the worldâs largest cryptocurrency exchange, and a legal comeback in the U.S. could quickly reduce Coinbaseâs market share. Wallace alleged that because of Coinbaseâs higher trading fees and customer service issues, the company was worried it might lose ground to Binance if the playing field was leveled.
Whatâs raising eyebrows is the claim that Coinbase was willing to target Trumpâs crypto initiative as part of its strategy to hurt Binance. Wallace called the alleged move âanti-Americanâ and questioned whether Coinbase would admit to these actions if proof surfaces.
