At the World Economic Forum in Davos, CZ stated that demand for physical banks will decrease significantly over the next 10 years. With the development of technologies such as blockchain and KYC, the need for users to visit physical banks is declining. While banks won't disappear, their branch networks will shrink considerably. Furthermore, he expressed skepticism about the direct use of Bitcoin for payments, citing the extremely high failure rate in this area despite years of industry investment. Zhao Changpeng believes that Meme tokens, similar to previous NFTs and Metaverse, are extremely risky and highly speculative. While projects with cultural value like Dogecoin may exist for a long time, most Meme tokens will not be sustainable.

Speaking at the "A New Era of Finance" panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, CZ stated, "The overall scale of trading platforms has also surpassed that of last year. Currently, the crypto industry has two mature sectors: trading platforms and stablecoins. Looking ahead, I am optimistic about three new directions: First, tokenization is a very important direction. By tokenizing some assets, governments can actually solve financial problems more efficiently, improve the operational efficiency of the financial system, and thereby promote the development of related industries and trading markets. Second is payments. We have tried crypto payments in the past, but frankly, not many people actually use them. However, a trend is emerging: traditional payment methods are merging with crypto technology. For example, users use Visa, Mastercard, and other cards to complete payments, funds are deducted from their accounts, merchants receive fiat currency, and settlement and bridging are handled through stablecoins and blockchain. This model is gradually being implemented and will definitely develop in the future. The third direction is artificial intelligence (AI). He believes that the 'native currency' of AI agents should naturally be cryptocurrency, and blockchain is currently the most suitable native technology interface for AI agents. Today's AI is not yet truly..." Agents won't buy you plane tickets, book restaurants, or complete payments directly; but once AI truly has the ability to act and transact, cryptocurrency will become its most natural and native payment and settlement method.
