Per Woofun AI, CZ disclosed in an interview with Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy, that he has ceased operating an exchange to dedicate more time to developer communication. He announced that BNB Chain is currently developing a new version designed to deliver faster transaction speeds, reduced costs, and enhanced privacy controls.

Meanwhile, CZ observed that the development of Real World Asset products, including stablecoins, oil futures, and AI stocks, has surpassed his initial skepticism, signaling genuine global demand. He views crypto as a technological tool to improve financial transaction efficiency and predicts the gradual convergence of traditional finance and the crypto industry into a more globalized, efficient, and low-cost system.
