CryptoQuant CEO Senses ‘Bullish Vibes’ as CZ’s Early Release Raises Market Hopes

The anticipation surrounding the potential release of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) from prison later today has been stirring conversations in the crypto space. So far, CZ has been serving a four-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Lompoc, California, since July.

While the official release date is slated for September 29, federal guidelines allow inmates to be released earlier if the date falls on a weekend, prompting speculation that CZ may be released on September 27 (today) instead.

Now, the crypto community is abuzz with the impact this early release could have on the market. Binance’s token (BNB) aside, experts suggest that CZ’s return, once officially disclosed, could potentially trigger a market rally across the overall digital currency market.

One of the voices behind this bullish sentiment is Ki Young Ju, CEO of the on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, who recently shared his thoughts on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X.

Crypto Market Eyes Potential Rally Amid Bullish Signals

In a post uploaded earlier today on X, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju expressed his bullish outlook on the market, hinting that CZ’s early release might spark a wave of optimism. The CEO stated, “CZ is getting out early today—bullish vibes everywhere. Not sure why, but I’m feeling it too.”

Ju added: “He just needs to post ‘I’m back’ and the market will skyrocket.” Ju’s comment highlighting CZ’s influence over the crypto ecosystem suggests that his return could catalyze bullish price action in the global crypto market.

This bullish sentiment arrives when crypto assets have been showing strong price movement. Major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB have all experienced significant upward trends in the past week and today’s positive performance is quite noteworthy.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin has climbed back above the $65,000 mark, Ethereum is trading over $2,600, and BNB has crossed the $600 threshold, with an increase of 2.2% in the past day.

This upward momentum has contributed to an almost 1% rise in the global crypto market cap, now valued at over $2.4 trillion. However, it is uncertain if these market movements are directly attributed to CZ’s impending release.

Ju’s Perspective On CZ’s Role And Influence

The comments by Ki Young Ju regarding CZ extend beyond market movements. Earlier this month, Ju highlighted CZ’s significant role in the crypto industry, emphasizing the need to respect his contributions.

Ju argued that despite controversies and legal challenges, CZ’s efforts have been crucial in the industry. The CryptoQuant CEO called for a balanced view on CZ, highlighting his role in driving the adoption and liquidity that the cryptocurrency market benefits from today.
