The committment comes after CZ confirmed the $500 million fund has been wired.
News emerged on Friday, October 28, that Binance has become an equity stakeholder of Twitter as a part of the recent takeover by well-known billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk officially closed the $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform on Friday.
Throughout the week, rumors swirled around Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and the company’s commitment of $500 million back in May 2022. Doubts were squashed when CZ and Binance confirmed the company had wired the committed allotment two days prior.
“Our intern says we wired the $500 million 2 days ago, probably just as I was being asked about Elon/Twitter,” CZ tweeted on October 28.
CZ has been a vocal advocate for the removal of bot activity across the popular social media app and also tweeted about the improvements he is feeling and expecting.
I feel much more secure about my Twitter account now that Elon has sink'ed in there.

The takeover by Musk has been controversial, to say the least. A very public row between the billionaire and the company occurred throughout the Summer of 2022. And Musk has already made his presence felt by firing several top officials, including CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal.
Many in Web3 are excited by the takeover of Musk and the expected clean-up on the platform of bots and malicious activity.
Public statements from Binance have shown the company is committed to improving the platform while also bringing Web3 together with social media.
"We're excited to be able to help Elon realize a new vision for Twitter. We aim to play a role in bringing social media and web3 together in order to broaden the use and adoption of crypto and blockchain technology," CZ said in an emailed statement.

Ether Futures ETFs Hit the Market: ProShares, VanEck, and More Offer Options

This marks the first-ever ETFs based on ether futures, following the introduction of the first bitcoin futures ETF two years ago.
Summary
- A range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the performance of ether futures have been launched.

In a significant development for the crypto industry, a range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the performance of ether futures have been launched. These offerings mark the first-ever ETFs based on ether futures, coming almost two years after the introduction of the first bitcoin futures ETF.
Renowned for launching the first U.S. bitcoin futures ETF, ProShares leads the charge with the launch of the ProShares Ether Strategy ETF, along with two additional offerings that provide a blend of exposure to both bitcoin and ether. ProShares’ CEO, Michael L. Sapir, expressed optimism about the appeal of these crypto-linked ETFs to investors, stating, "We think that many investors who are interested in cryptocurrencies but are concerned about custody risks, or who are challenged by the learning curve and complexities required to buy them directly, will be attracted to our crypto-linked ETFs."
Bitwise also joined the fray with two ether futures ETFs: the Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF and the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF.
VanEck, a prominent asset manager, has also entered the arena with the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF. This ETF is designed to target capital appreciation by investing in ether futures contracts, providing investors with an alternative path to participate in the robust futures market centered around Ethereum.
Additionally, the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF has also entered the market, “designed to seek capital appreciation” through ether futures contracts. As highlighted by Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Asset Product at VanEck, these offerings provide a means for investors to tap into the robust futures market surrounding Ethereum.
