CZ: BNB was originally just a bargaining chip for financing, 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 BNB is just an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. It initially refers to chips used to raise funds, but at that time, Binance needed to create a blockchain itself and be public 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 much effort on BNB, nor have I increased my investment in BNB chains. The community has developed on its own, 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 "Binance Coin", 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 a financial ecosystem including DEX, derivatives, lending, stablecoins, etc. CZ added that the BNB price had not reached $1,000 at the time of the interview, only around $800.
