[CZ Interview: Committed to Promoting the U.S. as the Crypto Capital, Hopes Binance.US Will Integrate Main Platform Liquidity] BlockBeats News, June 29 — Binance founder CZ recently gave an exclusive interview to CoinDesk, sharing his views on multiple topics. CZ attributed the 2026 crypto bear market to a combination of three factors: the shift of capital to the AI sector, geopolitical tensions, and the four-year cycle pattern. Regarding Binance.US strategy, CZ expressed his hope for the platform to integrate Binance Global's liquidity to strengthen its competitiveness in the U.S. market. He also revealed that, although his previous visit to Washington, D.C., aimed to clarify external "misunderstandings" about himself and Binance, he believes pleading guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act has not damaged his business reputation. CZ explicitly stated that he would not take charge of a crypto exchange again, preferring instead to participate in the operations of his invested companies in an informal advisory capacity. On crypto regulatory legislation, negotiations over the U.S. "Clear Act" are still ongoing, but core ethical provisions remain unresolved, and any agreement will require the President's signature for endorsement. With only 20 working days left before September 1, the legislative window continues to narrow. [Original Link]
