Odaily Planet Daily reported that in response to the community rumor that "CZ participated in hunting Wintermute", Binance founder CZ responded on X: " I haven't read or heard (or thought of) the word 'Wintermute' for several months. The last time I read this name was on X. It is not something I have in mind. Trading (as a profession) is not what I/we do. We provide trading tools for others. Don't believe false narratives."
