CZ urges young investors to adopt long-term, disciplined strategies instead of chasing short-term meme coin hype.

Binance Coin (BNB) remains a strong contender, despite short-term price dips, with analysts forecasting up to $1,500 by year-end.
According to a recent appearance at the BNB Super Meetup in Hong Kong, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared candid insights into his personal investment strategies and perspectives on the cryptocurrency market.
CZ’s Approach to Cryptocurrency Trading
As shared in a recent tweet:
Co-founder and former CEO Mr. Changpeng Zhao will attend the 3rd Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center (HKCEC) on April 8, 2025. At that time, Mr. Changpeng Zhao will participate in the dialogue on relevant topics online.
In a recent update, CZ apologized for missing an engagement, citing possible miscommunication and noting that he wouldn’t be able to make it. Despite being the founder of Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, CZ reportedly shared that he rarely trades crypto himself.
Advocating for Smarter Investment Strategies
Addressing the audience, CZ expressed concerns about the current state of the crypto industry, particularly the excessive focus on meme coins and the pursuit of quick profits. He advised newcomers to adopt a disciplined approach, recommending:
“I strongly recommend young people invest a small amount each month that you can afford to lose,” endorsing the strategy of dollar-cost averaging.
“There’s no bad time to enter the market, but how you enter is very important.”
Reflections on Binance’s DeFi Engagement
Reflecting on Binance’s involvement in decentralized finance (DeFi), CZ acknowledged past missteps, admitting the company had not paid adequate attention to the BNB ecosystem while addressing U.S. legal challenges.
“Didn’t focus enough on the BNB ecosystem. This was a big mistake.”
This candid admission highlights the complexities of balancing innovation with regulatory compliance.
BNB’s Market Performance and Future Outlook
Analysts remain optimistic about BNB’s long-term potential. Some projections suggest BNB could reach $1,000 by the end of 2025, fueled by strategic developments such as token burns and expanded utility within the Binance ecosystem. However, these forecasts are speculative and subject to broader market dynamics.
A recent CNF report also highlighted another analyst spotting two bullish patterns in BNB’s price chart, suggesting the asset could hit $1,500 this year. CZ’s recent remarks serve as a reminder of the value of prudent strategies in crypto investing.
At the time of writing, Binance Coin (BNB) is trading at approximately $530.63 USD, reflecting a decrease of 10.32% in the past day and 10.89% in the past week. See BNB price chart below.
