Rumors circulating online suggest Jackie Chan might play former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, in a Netflix biopic titled Crypto Kingpin.

Denial from CZ

Changpeng Zhao publicly refuted the casting reports, calling the story false and asking for a break for the actor, who is 71 years old.

«How did this go viral? This is false. I like Jackie Chan, but he is 71 years old. Give the man a break!»

— said CZ in a post on X. The statement rejects the circulating claims without providing additional details about the film’s production or casting process.

Context of the report

The casting claim has appeared across social platforms and messaging channels, where speculative reports often spread before verification from studios or representatives.

Netflix has not issued a comment, and neither Jackie Chan’s representatives nor confirmed production sources have publicly endorsed the casting assertion.

What remains unclear

Key production details for Crypto Kingpin—including official casting, director attachment, and release timing—remain unconfirmed by primary parties.

Until formal announcements appear from the studio or involved agents, the claim that Jackie Chan will portray CZ should be treated as unverified.
