Former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao posted today that 2025 will be the year to “send it.” This vague statement has sparked excitement in the cryptocurrency community.
Like most crypto leaders, CZ also has high hopes for the industry in 2025, perhaps due to wider institutional adoption and regulatory clarity for digital assets.
CZ: A good year for Binance and cryptocurrencies:
CZ, the former CEO of Binance, had a busy 2024. In April, he went to prison for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and was later released in September.
Although he can't return to his former position at the company, he seems to be in good spirits. Today, he made a post expressing an optimistic tone for 2025.
“If you ever wondered why people tweet 4, it came from this tweet two years ago today. In hindsight, I should have made 4 dot 0. 2025 will be the year to ‘send it,’” CZ claimed.
In this post, CZ outlined his four New Year's resolutions for 2023, the fourth of which was to "ignore FUD, fake news, attacks, etc."
Since then, he and others have started posting “4”s in response to various developments in the space, encouraging followers to maintain an optimistic outlook. For multiple reasons, CZ is predicting a good year for Binance and cryptocurrencies.
This world-famous exchange has several major things to look forward to this year. For example, its new CEO, Richard Ting, also predicts a crypto boom in 2025. Ting expects several positive developments in the broader space, especially in terms of regulation.
However, in a more recent statement from Binance Labs, the company showed real enthusiasm for CZ’s return to the industry.
Although Binance will never enjoy CZ as its leader again, he still has significant experience and an influential voice in the space. Less than a month ago, for example, Travala’s AVA token surged 300% after he revealed his early investment in the project.
In addition, Binance has several other bullish developments. For example, a recent survey of its users indicated that 45% of respondents entered the crypto space for the first time in 2024.
The platform is well positioned to attract new users, and has already made significant political headway in Brazil and other major countries.
In short, by calling 2025 the “Year of Transmission,” CZ predicts a lucrative period for Bitcoin and the wider community. The new year has just begun, and the crypto space is already seeing major attempts to spread fear and doubt. However, this optimistic spirit continues.
