CZ: Don't think I don't know! I remember everything

Amid fierce debate within the Trump administration over the CZ pardon case, lobbying efforts by his competitors reveal the internal political game within the industry. Although the White House ultimately approved the pardon citing "extremely serious review" and branded it as the end of the "cryptocurrency war," the lobbying resistance indicates that competition among leading exchanges has extended from the market level to the political lobbying battlefield.
It is noteworthy that the lobbying resistance disclosed by CZ this time occurred during the critical stage "after the pardon request was submitted," rather than during the public opinion mobilization period before the pardon decision. This suggests that competitors are attempting to exert influence directly within the administrative process rather than through public opinion pressure, reflecting that Washington political lobbying has become a core means for top crypto companies to compete for market access in the United States.
On May 10, CZ stated on the latest Crypto Banter podcast, "Other US crypto CEXs don't want me to get a pardon. (During the pardon request process) we have actually faced strong opposition lobbying from some competitors we believe." $BNB
