CZ: Unable to Predict Next Crypto Hotspot in Bull Market, RWAs and AI Very Strong, Existing Narratives Will Continue to Develop

BlockBeats News, August 27, Binance founder CZ stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference:

「(The next hot topics in the crypto market) Looking at it now, RWAs and AI are both very strong, stablecoins will continue to grow, centralized exchanges will continue to grow, DEXs will also continue to grow, meme coins will continue to grow, NFTs may make a comeback in some form, and DeFi will also continue to grow. So I think many things will continue to expand.

I don't know what the next hot topic will be; it's very difficult to predict. You know, in early 2017, I wouldn't have predicted ICOs, but six months later, we were doing ICOs; six months before the NFT craze, I also couldn't predict it. So predicting the next big thing is very challenging. I think it depends on entrepreneurs like those present here and those outside, it's you who will create the next big trend. That's about what I have to say.」
