According to CoinMeta, Zhao Changpeng (CZ), the founder of Binance, stated in a community Q&A on Binance Clubhouse Bali on August 23, 2026, that he indeed underestimated the development of RWA. Until about a year and a half ago, he never imagined that RWA would grow to such a scale, but now he begins to understand its appeal. He admitted that in the past, he also thought NFT would not become popular, and he did not expect Meme to become so trendy. Many trends in the crypto industry went unnoticed by him at first; it was only after they truly became popular that he gradually understood the reasons behind them.
