What will happen to Binance after CZ's departure and the $4 billion fine?

First of all, CZ isn't just a CEO; he's a legend in the crypto market, known for moving the market by just a few tweets. While this influential status was an advantage in the past, finding someone of CZ's caliber to take over as CEO will be challenging.

When founders and CEOs of this magnitude depart without a clear plan, it often disappoints the market. As a result, BNB is in a precarious position and could potentially revisit the current cycle's lows if chaos ensues within the organization.

Binance is now a target for a takeover, and it seems like BlackRock or an affiliated subsidiary could be the most obvious buyers. With an ETF approval that they'll likely receive, acquiring the largest exchange would be a strategic step toward dominating the market.

In conclusion, if CZ departs, Binance may face some turbulence in the near future.
