Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao on Wednesday said 2022 has been a tough year for Binance and the crypto market, but not unprecedented. Despite bear market challenges, the industry has seen rising adoption, regulatory frameworks, and Web3 developments. He expects the market will recover quickly, with more developments in the metaverse, NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, and other blockchain solutions.
Binance CEO Shares His Views On 2022 and 2023
In an official blog “A Letter From Our CEO: 2022, the Year of Resilience” on December 28, Binance CEO “CZ” shares his views on 2022 and what he expects in 2023.
2022 has mostly been a year defined by the crisis and failures of Terra, Celsius, Voyager, FTX, and others. Crypto prices fell from their all-time highs, implosions that shook users and regulators’ confidence, and FUD due to increased scrutiny by policymakers, media, and the public.
However, CZ remains optimistic about developments, adoption, and regulatory frameworks seen this year. Brands are entering into the metaverse, NFT, blockchain, and crypto space. He sees demand for these and related fields rising in 2023 as the crypto market, stock markets, and global economy recovers.
Binance will primarily focus on building, regaining trust through transparency, and staying user-focused. Also, Binance CEO plans to expand to more countries and hire more employees, as well as, support Web3 and blockchain innovation.
CZ Answered Community Questions
Binance CEO answered community-submitted questions in a recent interview. Some questions were light-hearted, including whether he is the pseudonymous Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto and if he gets enough sleep.
He is really happy about the expansion of Binance in several countries and working with regulators. The crypto exchange has led the crypto market this year and helping boost crypto and Web3 adoption.
Commenting on whether will Binance collapse if users withdraw their funds at the same time, he said it will be completely fine. Binance has over 100% reserves on every single coin. Even if Binance goes bankrupt, customers’ assets will be safe and “Trust Wallet is completely safe.”
He also answered how he would have managed the FTX-like situation and most valuable lessons learned this year. CZ is most optimistic about 2023.
