Key progress in the Qian Zhiming 60,000 Bitcoin case: Lantian Ge Rui enters through the litigation administrator, and the dispute over the applicability of Chinese and British law is in direct confrontation

According to Caixin, the case involving 60,000 bitcoins belonging to Qian Zhimin held a three-day hearing from July 7 to 9, 2026. Blue Sky Ge Rui Company officially joined the battle for bitcoin rights through the litigation administrator. The bitcoin dispute has transformed from a "two-party confrontation" into a "three-party competition": 1. The UK prosecution (DPP) claims that the assets should be recovered by the state; 2. The Chinese victims assert that they have property rights to the bitcoins that can be traced and have significantly appreciated in value; 3. The litigation administrator representing Blue Sky Ge Rui Company argues that the bitcoins are substitute assets formed after Qian Zhimin misappropriated company funds.It is reported that the estimated value of the bitcoins involved in the case is about 427,000 yuan each as of July this year, a 152-fold increase from the purchase price when Qian Zhimin acquired them in 2014 (2,815 yuan each). If the applicant can successfully assert their property rights to the relevant bitcoin assets, the amount they can recover will not be limited to the original investment loss but can also extend to the appreciation gains of the bitcoins. The litigation administrator representing Blue Sky Ge Rui Company believes that the bitcoins in question are essentially transformed from misappropriated company property, and the company has the right to trace them and assert property rights.Meanwhile, the Director of the UK Crown Prosecution Service (DPP) continues to insist that Chinese law should apply, while the leading law firm representing individual victims has proposed four complementary legal arguments to avoid the victims' claims being entirely dismissed due to any single legal pathway: 1. Bitcoin in the UK should be governed by UK law; 2. The investment contract is a scam, and upon cancellation, the rights revert to the victims; 3. The tracing mechanisms under POCA Sections 305 and 306 should also apply to the victims; 4. A "mixed structure" should break the binary choice between Chinese and UK law.

He Yifa wrote a long article listing Xu Mingxing's "six sins," accusing him of deliberately manipulating public opinion to suppress Binance

Binance co-founder He Yi (@heyibinance) published a lengthy article on the X platform on April 10, directly responding to a series of accusations made by OKX founder Xu Mingxing (@star_okx) against CZ and Binance. He Yi refuted each point in the article, stating that Xu deliberately blamed Binance for the market crash on March 11, defined the BNB chain meme as market manipulation by Binance, hired online trolls to suppress competitors, and engaged in "six tactics" such as creating controversies to drive traffic to himself. He bluntly stated, "You know too well how to attack a professional woman," emphasizing that his position is earned through independent effort and is unrelated to anyone else.At the end of the article, He Yi also responded strongly to personal attacks against him, stating, "You know too well how to attack a professional woman, just by stigmatizing 'she is where she is today because of a man,' deliberately creating scandalous rumors, and belittling me as 'a trophy'," and emphasized, "My identity is not given by anyone; I built my own empire. I came, I saw, I conquered; this applies to both my career and my relationships."Previously, CZ (@cz_binance) had posted about Xu Mingxing's public $1 billion bet, demanding that he "apologize like a man." Xu Mingxing responded by stating that CZ's public initiation of a huge bet contradicts the professional ethics expected of executives at regulated exchanges. The debate between the two parties is still ongoing.

CZ's new book reveals: During the 9·4 period, the silence of venture capital left him disappointed, and Sequoia ultimately backed out due to a breakdown in valuation talks

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recalled in his new book that after the "9·4" regulatory policy was introduced in 2017, venture capital firms as a whole became more cautious, and Sequoia Capital, which had originally expressed investment intentions, also paused related cooperation. He stated, "Seeing the venture capitalists collectively silent during our most difficult September, I was actually quite disappointed."CZ revealed that prior to this, Sequoia had expressed investment interest at the beginning of He Yi's joining, but chose to wait and see in light of the policy impact. Subsequently, Binance achieved rapid growth from September to October, with the number of users increasing from about 20,000 in August to about 120,000 by late October, ranking among the top ten exchanges globally and becoming profitable.CZ stated that by the end of October, after the risk phase had basically passed, Sequoia re-expressed its investment intentions, but they had proposed to raise the valuation requirement. Ultimately, the two sides could not reach an agreement due to valuation differences. The other party then proposed to pursue legal proceedings, and a week later, four large boxes of legal documents were delivered. CZ said this was the "first time in his life becoming a defendant." CZ mentioned that he later learned that the lawsuit was led by Sequoia's legal team in the U.S., who are skilled at using the media to create public opinion, "the media reporters knew before I, the party involved."
