CZ: The future looks promising for three main directions: tokenization, payments, and AI

Binance founder CZ spoke at the "Financial New Era" panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, stating that the overall scale of the trading platform has surpassed last year. Currently, the crypto industry has two mature sectors: trading platforms and stablecoins. He is optimistic about three new directions for the future:

First, Tokenization is a very important direction. By tokenizing certain assets, governments can effectively address financial issues, enhance the efficiency of the financial system, and thereby promote the development of related industries and trading markets.

The second is Payments. In the past, we have also tried crypto payments, but frankly, there weren't many actual users. However, there is now a trend emerging: traditional payment methods are integrating with crypto technology. For example, users complete payments using cards like Visa and Mastercard, funds are deducted from their accounts, and merchants receive fiat currency, while settlements and bridging occur behind the scenes through stablecoins and blockchain. This model is gradually being implemented and will definitely develop in the future.

The third direction is Artificial Intelligence (AI). He believes that the "native currency" of AI Agents should naturally be cryptocurrency, as blockchain is currently the most suitable native technological interface for AI Agents. Today's AI is not yet a true Agent; they do not book flights, reserve restaurants, or complete payments directly for you. However, once AI truly possesses the ability to act and transact, cryptocurrency will become its most natural and native method of payment and settlement.
