Odaily News: In a recent interview, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated that external estimates of his net worth exceeding $114 billion are clearly inflated, and that his actual wealth is approximately $10 billion to $30 billion. He believes that wealth has diminishing marginal utility, noting that $10 million is already enough to support a comfortable daily life, and that beyond that amount, the improvement in personal quality of life is limited. CZ revealed that after first hearing about Bitcoin in Shanghai in 2013, he spent several months researching it, then sold a three-bedroom property and invested the entire $900,000 from the sale into Bitcoin. Regarding MGX's $2 billion investment in Binance, he said the deal valued Binance at $75 billion. He originally hoped to settle the transaction in Bitcoin, but the UAE investor preferred stablecoin payment due to concerns about price volatility. In response to claims that Binance designated USD1 for settlement, CZ denied this, saying the settlement currency was chosen independently by MGX. He also stated that as long as a stablecoin has a solid reputation and will not lose value in the short term, he does not pay much attention to the specific type. CZ is no longer involved in Binance's daily operations and management and serves only as a passive shareholder; Binance has withdrawn its previous lawsuit regarding related reports.

Odaily News: U.S. Democratic Representative Don Davis of North Carolina introduced the "Ban on Betting on Your Own Election Act" on Monday, which seeks to prohibit candidates for federal office from trading contracts related to their own elections on prediction markets. Violators would face fines of $10,000 or 3 times the net trading profit, whichever is higher. The proposal stems from an earlier incident in which Davis's Republican campaign opponent, Laurie Buckhout, reached a settlement with a platform after trading contracts related to her own candidacy, paying a fine of slightly less than $2,600 and being suspended from using the platform for three years. Prediction market platforms had previously imposed their own restrictions on candidates trading contracts related to their own elections, and Davis hopes to write those restrictions into law; however, because the House and Senate are not scheduled to resume sessions until after the midterm elections, the proposal is almost impossible to implement during this election cycle.

Hunter Biden also said that relevant wallet records can prove the project is not a scam, and responded to outside questions about the LAPTOP token's first-minute trading activity and project transparency. He also stated that many Democrats have misconceptions about the crypto industry.
