CZ: BNB was originally just a "bargaining chip" used to raise funds, but now it has become an ecosystem independent of Binance.

According to ChainCatcher, Binance Lianchuang CZ forwarded the interview content on the X platform and said that when it first started in 2017, BNB was just an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. It initially referred to the "bargaining chip" used for financing, but at that time, Binance needed to create a blockchain itself and was open and decentralized. He never expected that it would develop like this. In the past two years, I have been busy with US lawsuits and have not spent too much effort on BNB, nor have I increased my investment in BNB chains. The community has developed its own state, and BNB has also held on its own. Starting this year, Binance has begun to increase investment, but even so, the BNB chain is still a bit "semi-finished product" and the ecosystem is a bit immature. At first, some people wanted to call BNB "BinanceCoin", but in fact, it was indeed called that at the beginning. Later, I hope to get rid of Binance's label. Now it is an ecosystem independent of Binance, which has evolved into multi-chain native assets such as BSC, Greenfield, opBNB, etc., forming financial ecosystems including DEX, derivatives, lending, stablecoins, etc.
