Zhao and the Binance team reportedly met with potential funders affiliated in UAE, according to a Binance spokeswoman, who stated that the conversations were “focused on general global regulatory problems.” CZ responded to the claim on Twitter, just saying it was “wrong.
Following FTX’s “liquidity crunch” and bankruptcy filing, the Binance CEO first announced the fund on November 14. The crypto exchange did not specify the size of the money.

Binance withdrew from the planned transaction less than 48 hours later, FTX declared bankruptcy, and Bankman-Fried resigned.
