Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, and Star Xu, CEO of OKX, are in a heated public dispute that has captivated the cryptocurrency industry. The feud intensified following the release of CZ's memoir, *Freedom of Money*, which led to CZ offering a $1 billion USD wager to Xu, claiming he was officially divorced before the specified date. Xu quickly dismissed the wager, stating that such public bets were unprofessional for leaders of regulated companies. The origins of their conflict date back to 2014, when CZ worked at OKCoin, the predecessor to OKX. Xu accuses CZ of falsifying contracts, while CZ's memoir suggests that competitors used tactics to undermine his reputation. The ongoing spat has garnered significant attention on social media, with reactions ranging from calls for Xu to accept the bet to concerns about the reputational risks for both exchanges as they seek regulatory approval in various markets. The deadline for the wager expires on April 10.
