Title: Ripple’s Gauri Manglik, Not Me, Says Binance CEO CZ, After a Controversial Meme
Summary: In response to a recent meme featuring himself with crypto founder Gauri Manglik, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the CEO of Binance, has set the record straight. According to CZ, he and Gauri never even had a conversation.
In an unexpected twist, the Binance CEO took to Twitter to address a viral meme that has been circulating online. The image in question appears to show CZ and Gauri Manglik posing for a selfie, with many assuming they were discussing Ripple’s USD-pegged stablecoin (RLUSD). However, CZ quickly debunked these rumors.
“I’m not sure what’s cooking here, but I can assure you that I have absolutely nothing to do with RLUSD,” CZ clarified. “I don’t even know Gauri well enough to take a selfie together without an explicit permission. Posting selfies when I meet someone I like/admire is normal. But I would never use that to promote my project, unless with explicit permission.”
CZ’s tweet highlights the importance of authenticity in social media and how any perceived endorsement can be misused for promotional purposes.
In the wake of CZ’s statement, it seems unlikely that the RLUSD initiative will receive a boost from the Binance CEO.
