'Binance did not participate in the 2nd round of Luna’s fund raising:' CEO

Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao, took to Twitter on Sunday to reveal that the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world doesn't hold any UST and neither did it participate in the second round of Terra's fundraising. The statement from Zhao comes after accusations that the venture arm of the exchange, Binance Labs, invested in Terra and acquired Terra USD (UST).

Binance CEO sheds some light

The CEO of Binance, who goes by 'CZ,' decide to clear the air regarding a few rumors prevalent in the crypto space on Twitter. He revealed that in the past four years, Binance Labs invested in hundreds of projects, including exchange "competitors" and many "competing" blockchains. Some have tumbled down, while some were major successes. 

Shedding light on the rumors of a $300 million investment in Terra, the CEO confirmed that the venture arm of the exchange invested $3 million in Terra back in 2018 and has since then never invested or acquired UST. 

"Binance Labs invested $3m USD in Terra (the layer 0 blockchain) in 2018. UST came much later after our initial investment," said the CEO of the crypto exchange. 
On the other hand, he also confirmed that the exchange tried to help Do Kwon and the Terra project. "Minting, forking, don't create value. Buying back, burning does, but requires funds. Funds that the project team may not have," said Zhao. 

More transparency

Zhao asked for increased transparency from the Terra team, "including specific on-chain transactions (txids) of all the funds." It is also important to note that as per a previous report from Cryptonary, Binance had shut down the trading of UST and LUNA following the de-peg of the former and the crashing prices of the latter. However, it was later resumed. Zhao commented that he was very disappointed in the Terra team after he requested them to restore the network, burn the extra minted LUNA, and recover the UST peg but received no response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
