Paris Blockchain Week Summit: Bybit CEO Ben Zhou Discusses the Impact of AI and Trust on Financial Infrastructure

BlockBeats News, April 15th, Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou attended the 2026 Paris Blockchain Week and participated in a panel discussion on the theme of "Trust, Technology, and Transformation," focusing on the tokenized economy and new financial infrastructure.

Ben Zhou stated that the core of the next-generation financial system lies in trust and user experience design, rather than a single technological breakthrough. He mentioned that Bybit has launched AI trading agent functionality, supporting users in implementing strategy automation through sub-accounts, with AI's role in trade decision-making and execution gradually strengthening.

Regarding industry trends, Ben Zhou pointed out that institutions are integrating blockchain as underlying infrastructure, with stablecoins acting as a bridge in payments and settlements. Meanwhile, the global regulatory environment is becoming clearer, which is also to some extent driving increased institutional participation.

He also mentioned that future financial services will be more "invisible," where users may not need to be aware of the existence of blockchain and related technologies during the usage process.
