Zhao Changpeng: AI investment boom is a positive for crypto market

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng said in a podcast that the investment boom in artificial intelligence (AI) could be a positive development for the cryptocurrency market. He predicted that the convergence of AI and crypto will become a key trend in the finance and technology industries, adding that the crypto market is here to stay and will continue to grow despite price fluctuations. Zhao noted that the current enthusiasm for AI investment is already having a favorable effect, with investors using crypto to access AI-related assets. This, in turn, is boosting trading activity and liquidity. He suggested that an era could arrive within the next few months where AI agents automatically handle payments and transactions using cryptocurrency. Just as the internet was not replaced by blockchain, AI will not replace it either, Zhao said, concluding that a significant portion of funds flowing into the AI market will eventually return to the blockchain ecosystem.
