- Ex-Binance CEO CZ revealed his dog’s name is Broccoli, chosen because he wanted something green that starts with “B.”
- Despite speculation, CZ confirmed he is not launching a Broccoli-themed memecoin, shutting down rumors of a crypto tie-in.
- CZ shared photos of his Belgian Malinois, noting that even after a year away due to legal issues, Broccoli still remembers him well.
So, Changpeng Zhao (CZ)—the former Binance CEO and one of the most influential figures in crypto—just introduced the world to his dog, Broccoli.
Yes, Broccoli.
The Story Behind “Broccoli”
CZ took to social media on Thursday, sharing then-and-now pictures of his Belgian Malinois, a dog that first wandered into his life 18 months ago after a chat with a Dubai-based zoo owner.
Why the name?
“Wanted something green that starts with a ‘B’—can’t get away from crypto, haha.”
A billionaire naming his dog after a vegetable? Bold move.
No, This Isn’t a New Memecoin
Given the crypto world’s obsession with dog-themed tokens, speculation ran wild. Would CZ launch his own memecoin tied to Broccoli?
The answer? Absolutely not.
“For those asking for a CA (contract address) from me, no, I am NOT issuing a meme coin. Just posting a photo of my dog, as some of you requested.”
So, despite the rumors, Broccoli is staying a dog—not becoming a token.
CZ’s Return & Broccoli’s Loyalty
Despite being away from Binance for over a year due to legal issues in the U.S., CZ says Broccoli still remembers him well.
No token launch. Just a billionaire and his dog. And maybe, a missed opportunity for the next viral memecoin.
