On the Galaxy Brains podcast, CZ said BNB Chain is upgrading performance and privacy as demand for tokenized real-world assets grows, while AI agent trading and blockchain-based payments could emerge within months.
CZ said on the Galaxy Brains podcast that BNB Chain is developing a next version aimed at faster transactions, lower costs and stronger privacy controls. He said he no longer operates an exchange and is spending more time with developers. In the same interview, he said demand for real-world asset products such as stablecoins, oil futures and AI stocks has grown faster than he expected. CZ also said AI agent trading and AI-driven payments could arrive within months, arguing blockchain’s API-driven design makes it better suited than current payment rails for autonomous software systems, while warning that regulating AI may be harder than regulating crypto.
