Old Crypto Rivalries Resurface as Binance and OKX Founders Trade Claims

The feud between Changpeng Zhao and Star Xu highlights deeper tensions within the crypto industry’s early development. CZ’s memoir portrays him as a target of coordinated efforts by competitors to slow Binance’s rise, including disputes over contracts, funding, and alleged attempts to damage his reputation during the company’s formative years.

Xu, however, rejects these claims and argues the book distorts key events, including legal disputes and operational decisions at OKCoin. He also dismissed allegations involving other figures like Justin Sun, calling them baseless. With neither side presenting new evidence, the situation reflects how personal accounts, competing narratives, and unresolved conflicts continue to influence perceptions in the crypto space—even years after the events in question.
