The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world has reportedly invested $500 million in Elon Musk's Twitter buyout. Binance will work with Musk's teams to develop and incorporate blockchain-based solutions for social media platforms. The partnership allows Binance an excellent opportunity to integrate social media and news into Web3's envisioned future. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, has supported Musk's Twitter ambitions since the early stages. As an equity co-investor, Binance joins the ranks of Musk's other partners, including Sequoia Capital, Fidelity Management, Andreessen Horowitz, and Brookfield. Analysts questioned Binance's commitment to the investment following Musk's hesitations earlier this year. In a June Bloomberg interview, Zhao clarified his company's position, stating his support would only remain if Musk followed through: "...If he's off, we're off."

Our intern says we wired the $500 million 2 days ago, probably just as I was being asked about Elon/Twitter. https://t.co/gM65GHUnZC
