A social post shared by Binance (CRYPTO: BNB) co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao was flagged on Sunday for misrepresenting an old announcement from X about introducing in-app trading.
CZ made a “clapping hands” emoji in response to a post by The Bitcoin Historian about Elon Musk’s social media company launching in-app Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and cryptocurrency trading.
Users on X added a community note to the post, stating that while reports of in-app trading are accurate, no official announcement mentions Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
Don’t Miss:
CZ didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment on the matter.

Interestingly, Musk touted a cryptocurrency-powered “everything app” through X Money last year, but no concrete announcements have been made since.
The community has long speculated about integrating cryptocurrencies on X, fueled by Musk’s enduring interest in assets like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).
