Head of YZi Labs: Thinking that cryptocurrency is an independent innovation is the biggest miscalculation in the past
Ella Zhang, head of YZi Labs, said in a live broadcast on Binance Online that in the early days, Binance Labs only focused on investing in the blockchain and cryptocurrency fields, but later realized that major innovations and industrial changes are not limited to a single track. He believes that if he could take a longer-term view at that time, he might invest in more AI companies.
Ella Zhang said that this year's focus is on intent-driven decision-making mechanisms based on AI agents, including permissionless and trusted payment systems, user trust mechanisms for AI agents, and ensuring that personal data is only used for model training through technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs.
In terms of RWA, it pointed out that the custody and on-chain trustless infrastructure for assets such as high-quality stocks, equity, and real estate property rights still need to be improved, and liquidity issues are also one of the core challenges.
Ella Zhang also said that in the future, Web3 projects may not need to issue tokens, but may also be financed through equity tokenization. It believes that in the future, more and more blockchain and cryptocurrency companies will choose to list on the traditional stock market instead of issuing tokens.
