Changpeng Zhao Weighs In on Crypto Market Dip
Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao—better known as CZ—has never been one to shy away from sharing his thoughts on the crypto market. This time, he’s calling the current downturn something else entirely: just another dip before the next big surge.
Or at least, that’s how he sees it—*if* another all-time high is even in the cards. “Everything before the next peak has to be a dip by definition,” he said. But then again, he admits the real question is whether that peak will happen at all.
Not All Coins Will Make It
CZ didn’t sugarcoat things. He thinks only a handful of cryptocurrencies will actually push past their previous highs. “Only a small number of strong coins will do that,” he said. His advice? Look for projects with staying power—the kind that can grow steadily, not just spike and crash.
It’s a familiar take from someone who’s watched the market cycle through boom and bust more than once. Still, it’s hard to ignore the timing. Bitcoin, the usual benchmark for the broader market, has been wobbling lately.
Bitcoin’s Rocky Day
Data from CoinGecko shows Bitcoin briefly tumbled to just under $98,500 earlier today before clawing back some of those losses. By the time this was written, it was hovering around $101,370. Not a disaster, but not exactly reassuring for anyone hoping for a smooth ride.
Then again, smooth isn’t really how crypto works. Prices swing hard, sometimes for no clear reason. CZ’s comments might be a reminder to focus on the long game—or maybe just a way to calm nerves while traders wait to see what happens next.
Either way, his stance isn’t new. He’s always pushed for a big-picture view, even when the charts look messy. The trick, as always, is figuring out which projects are built to last—and which ones will fade when the hype dies down.
For now, the market’s still moving. Whether that movement is up or down, well, that’s anyone’s guess.
