Episode notes

The current mood in the crypto market is one of caution and recovery. While NFTs and DeFi continue to grow, there is uncertainty about what will drive the next cycle of explosive growth. People are searching for the next big thing, which is evident in the popularity of meme coins. This indicates that there are funds ready to be deployed. We are at an interesting inflection point, and hopefully, the bear market has reached its bottom.

We welcome back Founder and CEO of Binance, CZ for his second appearance on Bankless. Last time CZ was on, Terra Luna hadn’t collapsed yet and FTX was still competing with Binance. A lot has changed.

In today’s episode, we cover it all. Here were some of the questions we discussed: 1) How can we tell what’s real vs. FUD with Binance? 2) What Happened with FTX from CZ’s perspective? 3) The difference between the current bear market vs. previous ones 4) Community questions from Justin Drake & Degen Spartan
