[CZ: CEX and DEX Will Coexist Long-Term, AI × Crypto is the Fastest Growing Sector in Crypto]
According to @linwanwan823's summary of CZ's remarks during the Binance Square AMA, CZ believes that this market cycle may not necessarily follow the four-year cycle pattern. The U.S. has, for the first time, explicitly supported the crypto industry and is advancing legislation, with other countries likely to follow. Stablecoins and RWA (Real-World Assets) are developing rapidly; the long-term outlook for the industry is positive, but short-term predictions are uncertain.
Regarding industry trends, CZ believes that CEX (Centralized Exchanges) and DEX (Decentralized Exchanges) will coexist long-term. New users still need CEX as an entry point, while advanced users may transition to DEX. The market is large enough to accommodate thousands of CEXs and DEXs; it is not a zero-sum game. The tokenization of RWAs is a clear trend, with countries actively working to create liquidity for their domestic assets through tokenization. AI × Crypto is the fastest-growing sector in crypto, and in the next 2-5 years, small-scale, cross-border, high-frequency payments between AI Agents are highly likely to use cryptocurrencies, though the field is still in its early stages.
Regarding the price of Aster, CZ stated that short-term fluctuations should not be overly focused on and expressed confidence in the team. The current industry is divided between "extreme transparency" and "privacy protection," and it is unclear which path will ultimately prevail. Responding to public opinion, CZ said that not addressing FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) is often the best approach. He criticized excessive competition within the Chinese crypto community and called for unity to expand international influence. Binance Square is building a Web3 version of YouTube, with monetization paths including trader rebates and token rewards for creators.
CZ views Africa as a window of opportunity that crypto should not miss, noting that while banking penetration is low, smartphone penetration is high. He has visited more than 12 African countries. During this AMA, approximately $18,000 in live-stream donations were raised, and CZ announced that the full amount would be donated to Giggle Academy.
