Changpeng Zhao, popularly known as CZ, has expressed uncertainty about the next major cryptocurrency innovation. The former Binance CEO recently admitted on social media, “Frankly, I don’t know,” reflecting the unpredictable nature of the industry.
Despite stepping down as CEO last year after pleading guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, CZ remains an influential figure in the crypto world, with a net worth estimated at $65 billion.
CZ continues to play an active role in cryptocurrency, supporting various projects and initiatives. In trying to popularize this new program to people, he unveiled what he called Giggle Academy, a platform for education on blockchain.
However, he said assessing new projects, especially where directors present ideas in quick conferences, is not easy. “A live demo is worth a thousand pitches,” CZ stated, emphasizing the importance of tangible results over brief interactions.

Bitcoin’s Dominance Strengthens Market Sentiment
While CZ contemplates the broader crypto future, Binance’s current CEO, Richard Teng, maintains an optimistic outlook, particularly regarding Bitcoin. Teng’s prediction that Bitcoin would surpass $80,000 this year proved accurate, with the cryptocurrency peaking at an impressive $108,000 earlier this month.
At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price is $92,722.14, but it has decreased by 0.89% in the past 24 hours. Despite minor dips, Teng’s bullish stance underscores confidence in Bitcoin’s potential as a cornerstone of the crypto market. Analysts attribute the currency’s resilience to growing adoption and investor trust.
Conclusion
The cryptocurrency industry remains unpredictable and dynamic. While CZ focuses on fostering projects and exploring what might come next, Teng’s optimism highlights Bitcoin’s current dominance.
As Bitcoin continues to perform strongly, the search for the next big innovation in the crypto world remains an ongoing challenge for industry leaders and innovators alike.
