Zhao Changpeng expects crypto to be as common as the internet in five years

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) said he expects cryptocurrency to become as commonplace as the internet within five years. Speaking in an interview with Scott Melker, host of The Wolf Of All Streets, Zhao expressed his hope that crypto will be widely used as it becomes integrated into daily life, even as new use cases and developments continue to emerge. He predicted that blockchain technology will also be applied to other fields such as data storage, and that artificial intelligence will significantly accelerate development and coding speeds, with AI agents becoming major users of cryptocurrency. Zhao added that the internet, blockchain, and AI are the key industries of today, warning that any country failing to embrace one of them would face a serious disadvantage.
