Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is actively seeking input from the BNB community on the best method to distribute over $1 million in BNB tokens to those impacted by recent meme coin price crashes. The Binance Founder is carefully weighing several options to ensure that the aid is delivered in the most effective and transparent manner possible. His current considerations include an outright donation to a reputable non-profit, burning tokens to potentially boost asset value, or channeling the tokens into a liquidity pool that could indirectly benefit the broader community.

Binance Founder Sets Out to Distribute $1 Million
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the Binance Founder revealed that donations collected for victims of the Test (TST) and BROCCOLI meme coin crashes have already surpassed the $1 million mark. Demonstrating his commitment to the cause, CZ contributed $100K (150 BNB) from the donation pool, following a notable donation from a university student who had previously supported victims of the ill-fated Libra project. This proactive step underscores his dedication as a community leader in the crypto space.
CZ has made it abundantly clear that he will not keep any of the BNB tokens received; instead, he is determined to use community feedback to decide the most appropriate method for distributing the tokens. He promptly dismissed suggestions of sending tokens directly to individuals, citing verification challenges, and instead hinted at a solution that centers on a collective, community-focused approach.
Community Preferences and the Binance Founder’s Vision
A significant portion of the crypto community is advocating for a donation to a non-profit, aligning with the Binance Founder’s history of engaging in crypto-backed charitable initiatives. According to CZ, any organization that receives the funds must be fully crypto-enabled and must provide transparent tracking mechanisms. This requirement is designed to ensure that the aid reaches the intended beneficiaries in a verifiable manner.
“My requirement for charity is that the receiving organization has to be crypto-enabled, and tracking must be allowed to the end beneficiary,” the Binance Founder explained. His insistence on transparency and accountability reflects his broader vision for how the crypto community can leverage technology to drive real-world impact.
Exploring a Hybrid Distribution Strategy
In addition to an outright donation, the Binance Founder is exploring the possibility of a hybrid approach for distributing the donated BNB tokens. Under this strategy, a portion of the funds might be directed to a non-profit organization that meets strict transparency standards, while another portion could be burned to potentially increase the token’s value by reducing its circulating supply. Alternatively, CZ is leaning toward channeling the tokens into a liquidity pool—a method that has shown promising initial results in early trials.
“I don’t care if funds on this address make or lose money,” remarked the Binance Founder regarding the liquidity pool option. “I think this is an indirect way to give back to our community too.” This statement highlights his innovative approach, where the focus is not solely on immediate financial gains but on fostering a supportive ecosystem that benefits all community members.
Airdrops and Community Debate
While the idea of conducting airdrops has garnered some support among community members, the Binance Founder acknowledges that implementing such a strategy comes with significant challenges. Verifying individual eligibility for airdrops could spark extensive debate among wallet operators and community members alike. CZ’s cautious stance on this matter further emphasizes his commitment to ensuring that the distribution process remains fair and transparent.
In Summary
The Binance Founder is deeply committed to a transparent, community-focused approach to distributing over $1 million in BNB tokens. By considering a range of options—from direct non-profit donations to burning tokens or using liquidity pools—CZ is ensuring that every decision supports the broader crypto ecosystem and effectively aids those affected by recent market downturns. His call for community feedback reflects not only his leadership but also his belief in the collective power of the crypto community to drive positive change.
