The event will open with a session by Yi He and Richard Teng, where the leaders will discuss Binance’s strategy to scale from 300 million to 3 billion users.

Following this, Lily Liu, Brad Garlinghouse, and Richard Teng will hold a discussion on the development of the crypto industry. At 15:10 (Kyiv/MSK), CZ, along with Chamath Palihapitiya and Professional Capital Management founder Anthony Pompliano, will discuss capital movement and market trends.

The program also includes:

• an update on the BNB Chain roadmap and an AMA with team representative Nina Rong;
• an analysis of trends by the Coin Bureau team;
• a session by YZi Labs head Ella Zhang on the convergence of blockchain and AI;
• a workshop on building research frameworks with analysts from DL Research, Messari, and CoinMarketCap;
• a discussion by Blockstream CEO Adam Back on the roots of Bitcoin and the cypherpunk movement;
• a talk by Rob Goldstein on the tokenization of capital markets.

The event partners include Fusionist, Pixels, Chromia, Epic, and Zerobase. Proceeds from sponsorships will be directed to two educational projects: $35,000 to the University of Zurich’s UZH Blockchain Center for a summer program, and $15,000 to Kyrgyzstan’s Geeks Academy for courses on cryptocurrency and blockchain.

Back in April, CZ released a book titled Freedom of Money. In it, he discusses the creation of the exchange, his imprisonment, the collapse of FTX, and an anecdote involving former SEC head Gary Gensler.
