Wall Street Journal: Trump pardons Binance founder CZ

According to the Wall Street Journal, US President Trump has pardoned CZ, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, who had been working to support the Trump family's crypto companies for months. People familiar with the matter said the president signed the pardon on Wednesday, and that Trump recently expressed to advisers his sympathy for the witch hunt narrative associated with CZ and others.

White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt said Trump "exercised his constitutional authority to pardon Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted during the Biden administration." She added: "The Biden administration's war on cryptocurrency is over." Binance did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

CZ was previously convicted of violating the US Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) by failing to implement effective anti-money laundering (AML) procedures. On November 21, 2023, CZ admitted to Binance's failure to implement effective AML procedures and resigned as CEO. Binance agreed to pay a fine exceeding $4 billion. On April 30, 2024, CZ was sentenced to four months in prison.

JPMorgan predicts that the average gold price will exceed $5,000 in 2026 and is expected to reach $6,000 in the long term.

JPMorgan analysts maintained their bullish stance on gold on Thursday, predicting that the price will average $5,055 per ounce by the fourth quarter of 2026. The bank's research note stated that this forecast assumes that quarterly investor demand and central bank gold purchases will average 566 tons in 2026. Natasha Kaneva, JPMorgan's head of global commodities strategy, stated, "Gold remains our highest-conviction long position this year, and as the market enters a Fed rate-cutting cycle, gold prices have room to rise." Gregory Shearer, head of base and precious metals strategy, added: "The Fed's rate-cutting cycle, coupled with stagflation concerns, worries about the Fed's independence and the risk of currency devaluation, together create a favorable backdrop for gold." Analysts believe that the recent market consolidation is a healthy phenomenon. Kaneva said: "The pullback reflects that the market is digesting the rapid rise since August. ... It is normal to feel panic in the face of such a rapid rise. This is essentially an imbalance between supply and demand - buyers are gathering and sellers are scarce." She reiterated the long-term target of $6,000 per ounce in 2028, emphasizing that the trend of gold should be examined from a multi-year perspective.
