Binance has registered a new publishing entity, Giggle Publishing, in the United Arab Emirates. The imprint has been designated as the official publisher for Changpeng Zhao's highly anticipated memoir, Freedom of Money: A Memoir of Protecting Users, Resilience, and the Founding of Binance.
Giggle Publishing is understood to operate under the umbrella of Giggle Academy, CZ's Dubai-based non-profit education initiative aimed at providing free education to one billion children worldwide. The establishment of a dedicated publishing arm signals a strategic expansion beyond education into media and content.
CZ confirmed on Binance Square that the approximately 300-page manuscript has been finalized. The book chronicles the founding of Binance, its legal battles with U.S. regulators, CZ's personal resilience through incarceration, and his vision for financial freedom.

A Chinese edition, titled 币安人生 (Binance Life: Luck, Resilience, and User Protection), will be released simultaneously, targeting the Greater China market.
The choice of the UAE as the publishing base reflects CZ's continued commitment to the region, where he has been based since his release. Dubai has emerged as a global hub for crypto firms seeking regulatory clarity, and the emirate's free zone structure offers favorable conditions for media and publishing ventures.
A draft of the memoir was previously reported by The New York Times in February 2026, generating significant public interest. CZ responded at the time by calling the coverage "free promotion," while also noting that the leaked version was incomplete.
The memoir is expected to address several high-profile episodes in detail, including the rivalry with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, negotiations with the U.S. Department of Justice, and the internal decision-making that shaped Binance's compliance strategy.
Industry observers note that the establishment of Giggle Publishing could signal broader ambitions. Sources familiar with the plans suggest the entity may eventually publish works from other figures in the cryptocurrency and technology sectors, positioning itself as a niche publisher for the Web3 era.
No official release date has been announced. Industry sources expect the book to be available in Q2 2026, with proceeds reportedly supporting Giggle Academy's educational programs across developing markets.
