Popular crypto trader James Wynn interacted with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) on X, asking the latter to “DM him”, setting speculations among fans regarding a possible collaboration among the two towering figures of the crypto industry.

The unusual conversation among the two is happening just a week after Wynn, a popular “degen” reportedly lost over $100 million in Bitcoin and PEPE trades.

On Monday, James Wynn tagged CZ’s official X handle, asking the crypto maverick to direct message (DM) him to which he promptly responded with a clever retort, plugging the popular crypto interactive platform reachme.io.

While the conversation between CZ and Wynn remains private, the fans were left brimming with speculations whether they are awaiting a possible collaboration between the duo. A few wondered whether CZ would actually hold a conversation with Wynn while others hailed it as “collab of the century.”

Wynn, a controversial trader in the crypto industry, has faced allegations of supporting memecoins that have resulted in pump and dump schemes. Hyperliquid trader Wynn is known for his bold, often reckless moves and holds considerable sway in the crypto industry. The trader had gained overnight fame after reportedly making over $87 million in PEPE memecoin through a modest investment of just $500K, using his trademark high leverage bets.

However, the gold run of Wynn ran out last week when he lost over $100 million in Bitcoin in just 48 hours using the same high leverage bets.
