Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared his views on the prospects of Bitcoin and altcoins in the coming years, highlighting several key trends in the crypto market.
The ETF Era Is Just Beginning
CZ pointed out that the recent Bitcoin price rally was largely driven by institutional inflows into U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs. He sees this as merely the 'first wave,' with significant capital still waiting to enter. As demand rises and supply continues to tighten, CZ expects a parabolic price increase for Bitcoin.
AI and Blockchain: The Next Frontier
With growing government support for AI, especially under Trump's second-term agenda, CZ envisions a tight integration between AI and blockchain technologies. Blockchain provides the transparency and security that AI lacks, making this convergence inevitable. Projects like Fetch.ai and SingularityNET are already gaining traction in this space.
Decentralized Science Trends and Asset Tokenization
CZ also highlighted decentralized science (DeSci) as an emerging sector with real-world impact. By using blockchain and smart contracts to fund scientific research and pharmaceutical development, DeSci could decentralize and democratize innovation. Another key trend is the tokenization of traditional financial assets, such as real estate and stocks, which CZ believes will also drive the next crypto boom.
CZ's predictions for 2025 present an optimistic outlook not only for Bitcoin but also for a broader transformation in how financial and technological systems operate.
