Memoir Release and Content Overview

A prominent cryptocurrency industry figure announced his long-awaited memoir will hit shelves in late February or early March. He promised to reveal details he couldn’t share during his recent interview at the Davos Forum.

“There is nothing to hide. More details in the upcoming book,” he wrote on social media on January 25, confirming the release window of four to six weeks.

Self-Published in Two Languages

The 300-page memoir, spanning approximately 97,000 words, will be self-published simultaneously in English and Chinese. The decision to bypass traditional publishers was driven by timing concerns.

“Takes too long to go through a publisher, even though they will likely help significantly with distribution.”

All proceeds from the book will go to charity. “Not trying to make money from the book,” he added.

Chinese Title and Memecoin Awareness

In a recent post, he revealed he is considering naming the Chinese version “币安人生” (roughly translating to “Binance Life” or “A Life with Binance”), while the English title remains undecided.

Notably aware of the memecoin ecosystem’s tendency to tokenize trending phrases, he preemptively addressed the issue:

“Full disclosure, and just to get this out there publicly so that it’s impossible to ‘leak’… This is not related to any meme tokens or listings. But I embrace the meme culture. I like that meme/word. It’s sticky, for me.”

He explicitly stated he does not hold any related memecoin and has no intention to do so, while reserving the right to change the title at the last minute.

From Draft to Final Edit

The memoir has been in the works since at least March 2025, when a 114,000-word draft was first revealed. At the time, it was noted the project had taken “way longer” than expected and would require “another 3x effort” to rewrite.

During that period, hints suggested the book would explore controversial industry events, including possible connections between major exchange collapses and other significant market events.

The final version appears to have been condensed to 97,000 words across 300 pages after months of editing.

Prison Details Included

When asked whether the memoir includes details about time in prison, he confirmed: “Yes, it’s all in there.”

The author pleaded guilty in late 2023 to violating US anti-money laundering regulations and stepped down from his CEO position. He served a four-month sentence and was released in September 2024. In October 2025, he received a presidential pardon.

Since his release, he has largely avoided commenting on exchange operations, instead focusing on philanthropy, education initiatives, and his memoir, which promises a comprehensive firsthand account of his journey before, during, and after building a major cryptocurrency exchange.
