About this episode

Alex Thorn interviews CZ, founder of Binance, discussing the future of crypto and various market dynamics.

Alex Thorn talks with CZ, founder of Binance, about where we sit in the four-year cycle and whether $60K is the new floor, why there are no dead bodies floating up this time, the great convergence of TradFi and crypto and why he thinks it should just be one industry, perps coming onshore to CME and CBOE, his take on Hyperliquid’s no-KYC model, prediction markets and the state-versus-federal fight, why he’d freeze Satoshi’s coins a year after a quantum fork, what YZI Labs is funding beyond crypto including an artificial womb company, and why agentic AI payments will run on crypto in months not years.
