Zhao Changpeng appeared on the podcast "Meanders" and discussed the pressures, adaptability, and lifelong motivation in the cryptocurrency field. When talking about pressure, Zhao Changpeng stated, "I generally do not set goals; I just do my best. This year the market is not good, so the company's performance may decline, but I have tried my best, I did not slack off, and I did not make any major mistakes. I handle problems in the same way.""No matter how difficult the problem is, I just try my best to deal with it. I also believe in simulation theory; I believe this world is simulated, so it’s like a game. It is simulated, but that does not mean this game is unimportant. However, in this game, I just need to do my best; you try your best to handle it, and after handling it, you can only wait, just lie back and win."Zhao Changpeng mentioned the industry, saying, "As for blockchain itself, I think the improvement in performance is still too slow. But because Bitcoin upgrades slowly, it is particularly stable, which is also an advantage. So there are advantages and disadvantages. Many of the ideas we had in the early days had many implementations, many that were not implemented, and many unexpected things happened."Regarding RWA, he said, "Even a year and a half ago, I would have doubted whether RWA could succeed, but now it is growing very fast. To be honest, I might have had some doubts about stablecoins five years ago, wondering how long they could last; at that time, I did not fully understand them. Stablecoins have their own uses. So these things are all things we did not think of before."

Zhao Changpeng appeared on the podcast "Meanders." Zhao Changpeng stated that if he were to redo a global cryptocurrency trading platform in 2017, the first principle would be to avoid U.S. users. Their definition of centralized financial platforms is: if you have U.S. users, you need to be subject to U.S. regulation and obtain a license in the U.S. This is not 100% enforced in the U.S., but they have the right and the ability to do so.Additionally, contracts might be developed a bit earlier. Even some other financial products could potentially be developed a bit earlier, and financial products would be more comprehensive. Communication with regulators might be more thorough. Binance is currently the trading platform that communicates the most with regulators, but the coverage is still somewhat lacking. Moreover, if you really want to do this, the cost is very high. It's not just a matter of money; you need to hire good people, spend a lot of time, and invest a lot of time managing this matter.

Zhao Changpeng recently commented on the emotional and property disputes related to Sun Yuchen, stating that while aggressive marketing can be acceptable, there is no need to use the incident for personal attacks or to affect others' future career development. Instead of disclosing unnecessary details, it is better to resolve the matter directly through legal means. He hopes both parties can handle it properly and respect each other.Zhao Changpeng then added that the cryptocurrency industry should set higher standards for itself. In response, Sun Yuchen expressed agreement, stating, "Mutual respect, proper resolution, and leave the rest to the court; I won't say more."

Zhao Changpeng stated at the "Bitcoin Asia 2026" conference in Hong Kong that both the RWA and AI sectors are currently very strong. Stablecoins, centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and Meme tokens, which have been growing, will continue to grow, and NFTs may return in some form. It is difficult to predict what the next breakout point will be, just as it was impossible to predict the coin issuance craze at the beginning of 2017 and the NFT craze six months before it exploded; these all require entrepreneurs to create.He also mentioned that the funds used by billions of AI agents for automated buying, selling, negotiating, and trading in the future will definitely be cryptocurrencies, likely starting with stablecoins, and then gradually integrating other public chain assets like Bitcoin. He has discussed the possibility of issuing tokens with several top AI companies, as building data centers requires huge amounts of capital, with the cost of 1 GW of computing power being about $30 billion to $50 billion. Some AI companies plan to build hundreds of GW of computing power in the coming years, so they are considering issuing data center tokens that would allow holders to gain rights to use computing power in the future. Additionally, the payment scenarios for AI agents may be implemented later than trading scenarios; currently, AI companies are more focused on helping agents find optimal trading solutions, while trading scenarios require AI to process information quickly, which can increase trading efficiency by about ten times.

Zhao Changpeng stated at the "Bitcoin Asia 2026" conference in Hong Kong that many countries have misconceptions about Bitcoin, viewing it as a dangerous asset. However, in fact, not using Bitcoin is more dangerous, just like not investing in AI technology is a real risk for a country today.When discussing strategic reserves, he mentioned that Bitcoin will definitely be more important than gold. Large countries will take time to make this shift, but this trend will certainly occur. He believes that the possibility of a digital currency emerging that is superior to Bitcoin and surpassing it, taking the lead before Bitcoin overtakes gold, is very small. In the future, Bitcoin will soon surpass gold; currently, the gap between the two is only about 10 times, which could be realized in the next bull market.Regarding reserve allocation recommendations, he stated that he usually advises countries to allocate the top five cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (excluding stablecoins) in addition to their dollar reserves, according to their market capitalization proportions. This is the simplest and most market-oriented approach. Typically, Bitcoin will account for over 50%, Ethereum will account for 10%-20%, and BNB and others will also be included.

Zhao Changpeng stated at the "Bitcoin Asia 2026" conference in Hong Kong that Bitcoin itself does not weaken or strengthen government power; what truly matters is the choices made by the government. Historically, weak governments have sometimes led to better economic performance. For example, the U.S. government is relatively weak, yet it has created one of the strongest economies in the world; after the current SEC chairman relinquished some regulatory power, the industry actually experienced growth, while former chairman Gary Gensler's attempts to control everything stifled industry growth.He mentioned that Bitcoin, as a decentralized technology, allows individuals to have more sovereignty, but its privacy design has flaws, and on-chain transactions can be easily tracked; governments can choose whether to utilize these characteristics. For instance, declaring Bitcoin ownership illegal or imposing a 36% tax on every transaction would stifle industry development. The government may seem to have significant power, but a zero tax rate still results in zero revenue, while taxing a trillion-dollar market at 6% would yield substantial income.He also noted that most governments have relatively recognized Bitcoin, but many countries still lack a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Among government officials, those who understand Bitcoin remain a minority, and in some countries, the older generation's dominance leads to a more conservative attitude. However, he does feel that a shift is occurring, despite some still holding the biased view that Bitcoin is primarily used by drug lords.

Zhao Changpeng stated at the "Bitcoin Asia 2026" conference in Hong Kong that people often overestimate what can be done in a year but underestimate what can be done in ten years, and a large amount of infrastructure will be built in the next decade. In the past two years, the attitude of traditional finance towards Bitcoin has undergone a significant change, and in recent years, the growth of tokenized stocks has been rapid. Binance's bStocks has quickly grown in just about three months since its launch, and looking ahead to the next ten years, this will be a huge market. In addition, various sectors such as payments, AI, Agentic financial infrastructure, stablecoins, and tokenization will see significant development in the next decade; now is the moment with the most opportunities in history.He mentioned that the Bitcoin blockchain currently does not support tokenized businesses, and tokenization mainly occurs on other blockchains. However, the various sectors within the crypto industry promote each other; those who understand Bitcoin will eventually understand other blockchains and tokens, and those who enter through stock tokenization will also pay attention to Bitcoin. He gave an example that it is difficult for Asians to open U.S. stock brokerage accounts, and the trading hours of U.S. stocks are inconvenient. Once stock tokenization occurs, it will enable more people who were previously unable to trade U.S. stocks to participate through crypto platforms. After these individuals enter the crypto platform, they may also start to engage with Bitcoin exposure that they did not have before.

At the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Conference, Zhao Changpeng stated that Trump mentioned Hyperliquid and that Mike Selig, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will seek a path for the platform to enter the U.S. market.Zhao Changpeng believes that if this progress can be realized, it will be a significant boon for the entire cryptocurrency industry. Zhao stated that the outside world tends to view him as a supporter of centralized trading platforms due to his holdings in Binance, but the fundamental reason he entered the cryptocurrency industry is his belief in decentralization.He pointed out that some users choose Hyperliquid because the platform can be used through wallets without the need for traditional accounts and KYC processes; if Hyperliquid can operate in the U.S. in a compliant manner, it will open up space for perpetual contracts and more decentralized services to enter the U.S. market.He believes this is not only related to Hyperliquid itself. "Hyperliquid is just the tip of the iceberg; once this tip enters, other projects can follow suit." Related developments will benefit more decentralized products and their portfolio companies, and will also bring more liquidity to international centralized trading platforms, allowing U.S. users to obtain more competitive prices when buying and selling crypto assets.Zhao Changpeng stated that the current cryptocurrency market is far from saturated, so competition between platforms is not the main issue. Hyperliquid's entry into the U.S. will not only benefit itself but will also expand the market size of the entire industry, "what is beneficial for them will also be beneficial for us."

Community users asked Zhao Changpeng, "What is your opinion on the memestock craze? In this model, meme coins are paired with tokenized stocks, which brings inherent utility to meme coins."Zhao Changpeng replied, "This is certainly fresh and interesting. But it is necessary to ensure that the issuers can indeed fulfill their obligations."

Zhao Changpeng posted on the X platform stating that Giggle's second-largest anonymous donor is its previous "public address," thanking everyone who contributed to this.CZ previously stated that the BNB in the "public address" and the "Binance People" tokens purchased with BNB will be donated to Giggle Academy. After that, this address will stop being used and will be turned into a burn address to avoid the community overinterpreting the operations of the public address.

Zhao Changpeng stated on the X platform that the fifth season of EASY Residency under YZi Labs is now open for applications, with a deadline of September 14. This season's recruitment directions include programmable capital and on-chain markets, AI infrastructure and computational economics, AI interfaces and consumer layers, as well as AI × biotechnology and programmable science. CZ also mentioned that the Demo Day for the fourth season of EASY Residency will be held next week in Bhutan, and he will attend.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng called for "tokenizing everything," stating that tokenization is one of the best ways for countries to raise funds or attract foreign direct investment. He asked, "Which country or company wouldn't want to sell its tokenized stock globally?" He supports tokenization across all blockchains, acknowledging that it may lead to liquidity fragmentation issues, but believes this is the fastest way for the industry to develop. If high interchangeability can be achieved among different issuers, the fragmentation issue can be resolved to some extent.Zhao Changpeng also shared data related to BNB Chain, showing that the number of RWA holders on BNB Chain has reached 776,000, an increase of approximately 370% in 30 days.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated at Binance Square: Too many people are trying to overinterpret "What does this mean?" Today, I tested Trust Wallet and found too many Meme tokens in the wallet, so many that it was hard to even find BNB, so I tried to burn some tokens. As a result, even this action sparked quite a bit of community discussion. I realized that I could never "clean up" the meme coins on this address. The more I burn, the more people will send coins to this address. The transparent nature of blockchain means that any action on this address will be overinterpreted by the community.I even considered asking the Trust Wallet team to create an "Ignore Coin" feature to avoid cluttering the interface, but 99.99% of people wouldn't use this feature at all. So the plan is as follows: I will donate BNB and the "Binance Life" tokens purchased with BNB to Giggle Academy. After that, I will stop using this address and turn it into a burn address.

The CEO of the World Gold Council recently stated that he personally believes Bitcoin will ultimately "go to zero," saying, "My personal view on Bitcoin is that it will go to zero." In response, Binance co-founder CZ posted that many people have made incorrect judgments about cryptocurrencies in the past, but understanding this field takes time, and he stated, "I also can't be 100% sure that I'm right, after all, we are all human."Analysis suggests that the view of Bitcoin "going to zero" has long existed in recent years, with critics mainly arguing that it lacks the cash flow support of traditional assets and has excessive price volatility; while supporters believe that Bitcoin possesses decentralization, scarcity, and digital value storage attributes, and may become part of the global financial system in the future.

According to Arkham data, around 16:15 today, CZ's public donation address saw three consecutive token burn actions, specifically 4,444 Meme tokens "Bull Coming" (with a contract address starting with 0xD043B6, which is a market-hyped token with the same name starting with 0xbee), 4,444 Meme coins MarsCoin, and 4,444 "Binance Life".Upon verification of the three burn actions, the 4,444 Meme tokens "Bull Coming" were not actively burned by CZ. The initiator of the transaction was the token creator himself (0xcf86..383), who deployed the contract and set up privileged authorization to mint 1 billion tokens for his own address. Subsequently, he actively transferred about 800 million tokens to CZ's address and used transferFrom to forcibly transfer 4,444 tokens from CZ's address to a black hole address, simulating a burn by CZ. During this period, the CZ address had no authorization for this token or the initiator.

CZ publicly updated the donation address a few minutes ago, destroying 4444 Meme tokens "Bull is Coming".

According to on-chain data monitoring, CZ's public donation address has shown unusual activity. About five minutes ago, 4444 "Binance Life" coins were burned, worth approximately 2130 USD.In addition, the address also burned 4444 Meme coins MarsCoin, worth approximately 271 USD.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng posted on social media, "As of August 2026, over 20.07 million Bitcoins have been mined, with only about 4.4% of the supply left to be mined. I estimate that 10-20% of the existing Bitcoins are lost, stuck, or unrecoverable. It is a deflationary asset."

GMGN data shows that influenced by Zhao Changpeng's retweet of related content, the utility of BSC Meme coins surged rapidly for a short time, with a market cap once exceeding 9 million USD, currently reported at about 8 million USD, with an intraday increase of over 900%.According to market news, the prices of Meme coins are highly volatile, and most lack practical use cases, please pay attention to asset protection.
