Twitter could face crypto makeover, billionaire investor hints

Social media platform Twitter could become much more entwined with cryptocurrencies and blockchain in the future, one of the backers of Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover hinted on Wednesday.

Changpeng Zhao, who owns crypto firm Binance and put $500 million into the takeover by the world’s richest man, gave his first hint that he would not be a completely silent investor.

“Let’s give Elon some time to get adjusted,” he told a press conference at the Web Summit tech conference in Lisbon, before adding that he was there to help Twitter in any future crypto-related moves.
