BlockBeats News, January 22nd, Binance founder CZ spoke today at the Davos World Economic Forum's "Financial New Era" panel, stating, "Currently, in the cryptocurrency industry, exchanges and stablecoins have achieved large-scale application and validation. The three main promising directions for the future are: asset tokenization at the national level, cryptocurrency as an 'invisible' payment underlying layer, and AI smart agents achieving autonomous trading, using cryptocurrency as their native currency.

The fundamental reason banks face risks is the design of the 'fractional reserve system.' After the FTX liquidation event in December 2022, Binance processed withdrawals of approximately $7 billion in a single day, and accumulated about $14 billion in withdrawal requests within a week, during which no issues arose. It successfully weathered this storm, proving its capability as a resilient financial infrastructure. Over time, physical banks will significantly decrease in the next 10 years, and people will increasingly not need to physically visit brick-and-mortar banks. CZ pointed out that ING was the first to promote online banking, and now encryption technology and electronic KYC are accelerating this transformation. Banks remain important, but the entire industry is being redefined.

Meme coins, similar to previous NFTs and the Metaverse, are highly risky and speculative. Although meme coins with cultural value like Dogecoin may persist long term, the majority of meme tokens will not endure.

Currently, there are significant differences in cryptocurrency regulatory policies among countries, making it quite challenging to establish a global regulatory body. We hope to see such an organization emerge, especially if this global regulatory body can establish a pro-innovation regulatory framework, greatly simplifying the work for industry participants. Efforts are being made to collaborate with governments worldwide to shape appropriate regulatory frameworks."
