COINOTAG reports from a year-end Q&A with CZ, where the Binance founder outlined his focus areas: Giggle Academy, YZi Labs, the BNB ecosystem, and driving national crypto adoption. He highlighted that BNB Chain has expanded rapidly, with a ~600% surge in annual trading volume and daily active users topping 2 million. CZ stressed the need to continue creating value for genuine builders, anticipating that the size of the BNB ecosystem will outpace any single company within it.

On stablecoins, CZ argues the space remains early; current offerings show “stablecoin 1.5,” with FDUSD and USD1. He cautions against overreliance on any single AI-driven trading model, noting real edge comes from diverse, creator-led approaches. He underlines a long-term investment ethos: back mission-driven teams with durable execution, not quarterly pivots. Despite macro softness, he sees crypto adoption still in single digits and expects multi-order growth as markets mature.
