CZ Sees $60,000 as New Bitcoin Support and AI Payments Poised to Surge

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, believes Bitcoin continues to be shaped by the four-year cycle, global tensions and shifts in investor attention toward AI. The market has weakened since the start of 2026, but he remains bullish on the crypto industry over the long term and sees decentralized exchange Hyperliquid as an emerging force worth watching.

In a recent interview with Galaxy, CZ predicted that $60,000 per Bitcoin could shift from a resistance zone to a new support level, stressing that he would “never leave crypto.” He is also bullish on demand for trading and payments by autonomous AI agents, forecasting explosive growth in such applications over the coming months.
