Revolut, a global neobank and fintech company, has taken a bold move that surprised many, including former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. CZ shared the important development with his 9.2 million followers in a post on X.
CZ's reaction: surprise and excitement
According to CZ, Revolut, a recognized financial app, listed Binance Coin without prior knowledge.
He expressed his excitement for the development as the listing of Binance Coin will add a new avenue for users around the world to access and trade the coin. This increases the liquidity of the coin, allowing for further adoption and growth.

Interestingly, CZ claims he was unaware of this listing. This means that Binance's leadership remains decentralized and independent from the previous CEO's leadership. It also suggests organic adoption of BNB due to its usefulness and potential demand from Revolut users.
Overall, CZ seems genuinely excited about the growth his company is experiencing, even if he can't lead Binance again.
Just learned: Revolut is now on the list $BNB.
Again, I didn't know that until a few minutes ago. The community is growing. 😆

CZ replied, “I didn't know that either.”

This initiative and development highlights the positive growth of Binance and Revolut in the cryptocurrency space.
Interestingly, Revolut dropped hints of plans to launch its own USD-backed stablecoin in September. The digital investment bank says its aim is to meet the growing demand for stable digital assets.
