CZ: Crypto Assets Will Become AI's Native Currency, Hopes BNB Chain Becomes a Major Network

October 27 — According to The Block, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said at a media briefing after the BNB Standard Nasdaq bell-ringing ceremony that crypto assets will become "AI's native currency." He said AI could use Bitcoin, existing stablecoins, or tokens that AI companies issue in the future, but that he hopes BNB Chain becomes one of the primary networks, adding that this still requires building. Changpeng Zhao also mentioned that earlier that day he discussed tokens linked to computing power resources and hopes to bring them onto BNB Chain, but did not disclose details. He also said crypto payments are still inconvenient for ordinary users, and advised startups to first focus on underserved markets and remittance corridors rather than competing directly with Apple Pay or Google Pay in the U.S.
