On October 28, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, confirmed that it was the equity investor of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, who bought Twitter.
It is reported that Zhao Changpeng, founder of Binance, wrote in an email: “We are very happy to help Elon realize the new vision of Twitter in order to expand the use and adoption of encryption and blockchain technologies.”

At the same time, Zhao Changpeng said in a tweet that, as part of the transaction, Binance had remitted about 500 million dollars two days ago, which was the amount of Binance’s participation in the Twitter acquisition.
A spokesman for Binance told the interface news: “As a Web3 infrastructure company, we look forward to bringing new solutions to solve some problems inherent in the Web2 ecosystem.”
In May of this year, shortly after Musk launched the Twitter acquisition case, the documents he submitted to the SEC of the U.S. Securities Regulatory Commission showed that he had raised 7.14 billion dollars for Twitter’s $44 billion offer at that time, including Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, CME and asset management companies Fidelity and Brookfield, as well as Sequoia Capital and A16z. The largest capital of $1 billion came from Ellison, one of the founders of Oracle, while the venture capital company Sequoia provided $800 million, and A16z also subscribed for $400 million. The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world has invested 500 million dollars.
With the repeated acquisition process of Musk, Coin Ann chose to support Musk’s decision. Previously, Musk had given up the acquisition of Twitter. Zhao Changpeng, the founder of Binance, was asked about this, “If he leaves, we will leave.” Zhao Changpeng, chief executive officer of Binance, said in an interview in June.
Just two days before the completion of the acquisition, Zhao Changpeng reconfirmed his support for Elon Musk. At the future investment initiative meeting held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this Tuesday, when Zhao Changpeng was asked whether he would continue to support Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, he gave a positive reply, “I think so.” Zhao Changpeng said.
With the successful acquisition of Twitter by Musk, Binance has also become a new shareholder of Twitter, which will be another attempt to expand its social influence after the cryptocurrency giant’s strategic investment of 200 million dollars in Forbes. Zhao Changpeng, founder of Binance , once said that he expected a more encrypted new Twitter.
