Changpeng Zhao denies claim that He Yi's X revenue is about $300,000

Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s founder, denied a claim that X paid Binance co-founder Yi He about $300,000 in creator revenue over two months. Zhao replied “it’s fake” to a post by X user TuanX that shared a screenshot and asked whether the figure was accurate. The post questioned the rumored amount rather than confirming an actual payout, and Zhao’s reply did not disclose his own X earnings. The denial matters because X’s creator-payout figures are closely watched as a signal of the platform’s monetization, and the exchange between Zhao and TuanX leaves the exact amounts paid to Binance-linked accounts unresolved.
