What started the Star Xu and CZ feud?

It traces to 2015 OKCoin drama over contracts and Roger Ver deals, reignited by CZ's memoir.

Is CZ really divorced amid the drama?

He claims yes, officially, and offered a $1B bet to prove it — Xu declined.

Will this feud impact crypto prices?

Unlikely directly; it's founder noise amid broader market forces, but erodes trust long-term.
