The release of Binance founder CZ’s memoir, Freedom of Money, has triggered a new public dispute with the CEO of OKX, who accuses CZ of repeating misleading claims about his divorce and his widely cited crypto origin story.
The OKX CEO said that if CZ can provide a dated, signed divorce agreement that was approved by both parties as of today, he will issue a public apology. If CZ cannot provide such documentation, but continues to state in media interviews and in Freedom of Money that he is already divorced, the OKX CEO described it as misrepresentation and “another big lie” within what he characterized as a pattern of confident but inconsistent statements.
“如果首富能够拿出截至今天、经双方签字确认的离婚协议,我将立即公开道歉。 如果拿不出这样的协议,却在媒体和书中宣称自己已经离婚,那就是在公然对公众撒谎。这不过是他又一次理直气壮地向公众撒谎的例子。”
Citing a CoinDesk report, the OKX CEO said CZ’s wife reportedly referred to them as “husband and wife” in a letter to the judge, without using terms such as “ex-wife” or “ex-husband.” The OKX CEO argued that this contradicts CZ’s shifting language in the book and public appearances, and also raised questions about whether CZ’s stake in Binance was divided fairly in line with the law.
The OKX CEO also challenged CZ’s origin narrative in Freedom of Money, which describes selling an apartment for about $900,000 to buy Bitcoin at roughly $400. The OKX CEO questioned the completeness of the story, including where the original down payment came from, whose house was actually sold, and why CZ continues to repeat the account while downplaying the emotional strain on his in-laws and family.
Supporters of OKX have urged the exchange to escalate the dispute legally, arguing that a company of its size should not allow disputed claims in a high-profile book to go unchallenged. What began as book-tour commentary is now being framed as a broader credibility test for CZ.

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
