Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and OKX founder Star Xu are in the midst of a public feud on social media platform X, trading accusations of fraud and dishonesty that date back to 2015.

The dispute reignited after CZ published his memoir earlier this week, which Xu claims misrepresents events from Zhao's time at OKCoin. Xu pointed to a video showing conflicting contract versions from the period, calling Zhao 'a habitual liar' who 'never changes.'

Zhao responded in a Reddit post in May 2015, denying allegations that he forged a contract involving early Bitcoin investor Roger Ver.
