CZ responds to BNB community invitation: Refuses to open a public account on Genius App, citing that he does not want to receive spam donations again
BlockBeats news, November 8, BNB community members publicly invited Binance founder CZ to register an account on the Genius App and interact with the community, stating that over 10000 BNB community users have already joined the app, where they are sharing trading ideas, following each other, and providing suggestions to the team. CZ subsequently replied, stating that the team had indeed invited him to open a public account, but he had clearly declined because "I would receive a large amount of spam donations again." CZ revealed that he had downloaded the app to check it out but had not yet made any trades, emphasizing that he is not a trader, but rather accumulates and holds top-tier tokens long-term.
Genius is a project invested by YZi Labs, with CZ serving as an advisor, benchmarked against products such as Pump.fun.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Genius App: CZ declined to open a public account, which may reduce the boost his personal influence could have provided to early engagement and attention in the Genius community, but he did not reject the project itself. BNB: The report describes an account invitation and CZ's personal behavior, and provides no evidence of changes in BNB's price, capital flows, or fundamentals.
Why it matters to readers
BlockBeats provided specific timing, individuals, projects, and response content, but the evidence given does not include a link to CZ's original reply, so this is a relatively high-credibility report rather than fully independent confirmation. The incident involves CZ, the Binance-related ecosystem, and the BNB community, but no direct asset impact is currently shown.
