Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, has stated that cryptocurrencies will become the native currency for artificial intelligence, with BNB Chain positioned to play a major role in these transactions.
"Crypto will be the native currency for AI," Zhao stated, suggesting that AI systems will utilize not only Bitcoin and stablecoins but also tokens issued by AI companies in the future.
BNB Chain Expansion
Zhao expressed hope that BNB Chain would become a leading network for AI-era transactions, though he acknowledged challenges remain. He also mentioned plans to introduce tokens tied to computing resources on the BNB Chain, though specific business plans and timelines were not disclosed.

Company Strategy
BNB Standard, a Nasdaq-listed company with over 515,400 BNB worth approximately $383.5 million, announced plans to expand beyond simply holding BNB. CEO Alex Odagiu revealed the company will first operate its own validator before moving into payments and AI agents.
Zhao also emphasized the need for more user-friendly crypto payment systems, noting that while he tries to make as many payments as possible in crypto, the process remains cumbersome. He advised startups to focus on underbanked markets and cross-border remittances rather than competing directly with established payment systems like Apple Pay and Google Pay in the US.
