Earlier this morning, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut, in line with broad market expectations. Bitcoin (BTC) showed little reaction, remaining range-bound near $116,000. In contrast, BNB posted a strong independent rally.
Yesterday, rumors circulated that Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) may be returning to lead the exchange, sparking a 4% surge in BNB that briefly pushed the price past $960. CZ had stepped down in 2023 following regulatory pressure from U.S. authorities.
As of now, neither Binance nor CZ has officially responded to the speculation. However, BNB’s price movement suggests investors are optimistic about his potential return. If confirmed, it could be the catalyst that propels BNB beyond the $1,000 threshold.
