BNB leaves the strategy, Nike will be dusty
BNB reached that ATH for a short time, then rebounded, and now changed hands at $849 per coin. This was the third historic peak we reached last week. On Sunday, BNB surged to $827. On July 23rd, BNB surged to $809.
This latest, huge price surge has allowed Binance Coin to climb to the 11th position in the global asset rankings, currently holding its 186th spot. Therefore, BNB outperformed Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Finance Company’s strategy (previously micro-tactics). BNB has left UnicRedit Bank ($1129.8 billion), Nike ($1126.4 billion) and SoftBank ($1125.6 billion).
CZ Binance’s wealth will reach $158 billion
What’s more, thanks to this BNB surge, the net worth of the person who created it (and Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange), Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, is also skyrocketing. It currently accounts for $75 billion. However, this figure primarily reflects the value of Binance stocks owned by Zhao. If the value of the BNB stash he holds is added here (and that’s about 64% of the circulating BNB supply), these $75 billion will increase to a much larger amount.
Overall, CZ owns around 98 million bnb tokens worth around $83 billion. Added to the above $75 billion, Changpeng Zhao could be worth $158 billion. Therefore, he may now be wealthier than Warren Buffett, a famous legend in the world of investment. Warren Buffett’s net worth is $144.4 billion.
