Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, dismissed rumors linking him to American actress Sydney Sweeney on Saturday. He called the claim false and added a humorous note, saying he had never met her.
The rumor started when the X account @BTCDailyNotes posted a “breaking” alert claiming CZ and Sweeney were in a relationship. The post included side-by-side photos of both figures and quickly drew hundreds of likes, reposts, and playful comments joking about a potential BNB price boost.
CZ responded directly to the speculation, writing:
His reply gained thousands of likes and replies within hours, highlighting both his humor and no-nonsense approach. He also shared a broader point about misinformation in today’s digital world.
Many in the crypto community treated the rumor as entertainment, creating memes and joking about the supposed pairing. The lighthearted reaction quickly spread across social platforms, with users poking fun at the idea of CZ and Sweeney together.
Others focused on CZ’s reminder to filter noise, especially in an industry where false claims can influence decisions almost instantly. His point resonated with those who recognize how quickly misinformation can ripple through the crypto ecosystem.
Observers also noted that the story had no credible sources or verifiable evidence, appearing to be classic engagement bait. Past viral claims linked Sweeney to Vitalik Buterin and Elon Musk, showing how celebrity names spread unverified content quickly.
As of today, Binance Coin (BNB) showed no notable movement tied to the rumor or its debunking. It is trading around $944, up about 0.4% over the past 24 hours.
