Binance Founder Seeks to Dispel Speculation Over Memoir Plans

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao aka CZ, said he is considering naming the Chinese version of his memoir “币安人生” (Binance Life), while stressing that the title has no connection to any meme tokens or listing decisions.

CZ said the English title has not been decided and is likely to be completely different. He expects to self-publish both the Chinese and English versions at the same time, with a release timeline of around four to six weeks.

No link to tokens or listings

CZ addressed online speculation after a meme token using the same Chinese name, “币安人生,” was recently listed on Binance Spot. Some social media users suggested the listing was timed to promote the book or create hype around the token.

CZ rejected that idea, saying the book title is unrelated to any token, meme coin, or listing plan. He said he does not hold the “币安人生” token and has no intention of buying it.

“I haven’t told anyone yet,” CZ wrote, adding that he wanted to make the information public early to avoid rumours or leaks. He also said he still reserves the right to change the book’s title at the last moment.

Embracing memes, but drawing boundaries

CZ said he understands meme culture and finds the phrase “币安人生” catchy, which is why he is considering it for the Chinese edition. However, he said this should not be taken as support for any specific token or market activity.

He added that he has seen repeated cases where social media posts are used to promote low-cap projects, something he said he does not support.

Book to be self-published, proceeds to charity

CZ said he chose to self-publish because working with traditional publishers would take too long, even though they could offer wider distribution.

He also said all proceeds he receives from the book will be donated to charity, adding that the memoir is not intended as a commercial project.

The clarification came after some market commentary suggested the spot listing of the “币安人生” token was tied to a broader narrative around CZ’s upcoming autobiography and activity on Binance’s BNB Chain.
