In a recent interview with Anthony Pompliano, co-founder and former CEO of CZ’s Binance Exchange, we answered many questions that are interesting and important for viewers to listen to.
Among them were questions about the beginning of Changpeng Zhao (CZ)’s career at Crypto, his time as Binance CEO, his prison term and the future of the Crypto space. He also answered questions about how great his wealth was, reminded the audience that he had left his job, and sold his home to enter the code at the start of his career.
CZ talks about his wealth, but here’s the catch
Pompliano (often known as majesty) explained his question about CZ wealth (“How much money do you really have?”).
One of the best interviews I’ve ever had. This has become a little more personal. There are a lot of details. Thank you @apompliano

Still, CZ did not reveal any specific numbers or numbers about the size of his crypto wallet (it is clear from his previous tweets and interviews that he holds all his money in code). Instead, he said he had enough money to start a new project that he thought would be interesting or kind to others. CZ admitted that money is no longer a limited resource for him. Now it’s more time and energy to do things than money itself.
CZ bullish predictions for crypto, AI and institutions
When answering questions about the future of the industry, CZ said, “We’re very bullish now.” He expects a much broader institutional adoption of these new assets, a surge in the number of crypto ETFs and the number of crypto treasury (strapped with bitcoin as well as Ethereum and other big coins).
What’s more, he hopes that the traditional stock market will enter the crypto in a big way. He also predicted that the intersection of AI and cryptography would be much larger than it is now. Many governments will begin adopting blockchains of practical solutions, including decentralized electronic IDs, rental rights, health benefits, wealth redistribution, and taxes. In short, blockchain extends beyond just trading and finance.
CZ added that although he would not have given such predictions as early as nine months ago, the space is evolving at a fast pace.
