He highlighted the importance of micropayment readiness and the ability to handle large data volumes. CZ envisions a future where agents manage trading automatically, eliminating the need for manual input. He also noted that while AI infrastructure may yield steadier returns, the competitive landscape in software development is evolving rapidly due to AI advancements." datetime: "2026-05-13T13:11:23.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/286268387.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286268387.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/286268387.md) --- # CZ: Crypto Must Become "Agentic Ready" — and Trading Should Be a Prompt, Not a Click Binance founder CZ said the most important work in crypto right now is making blockchain infrastructure "agentic ready" — so that AI agents can transact, store data, and execute trades natively. Speaking at Binance Online on May 13, CZ said payments are the most obvious intersection. "Payments is definitely one of them. We want to make all crypto infrastructure agentic ready. So when agents want to use crypto, they can call a skill or API and the agents can just use it." He outlined three specific infrastructure requirements. "The infrastructure should be micropayment ready, large amounts of data ready. If agents want to save a large amount of data in a decentralized fashion, we need to have the infrastructure for it. And we need to be able to support fast, high volume, but low transaction values of each agent." CZ said the biggest user-facing shift will come in trading. "Agents should do all the trading for you. You shouldn't have to click on a chart, enter a price, enter a number on your mobile phone, and then click a button. That's just clunky. You should just say, look, I want to convert ten percent of my portfolio or ten percent of my stablecoins into BNB. And the agent just does it for you in the background. You'll figure out the best price, where to do it, etc." On capital deployment, CZ echoed Chamath Palihapitiya's view that infrastructure offers steadier — if lower-multiple — returns. "In AI infrastructure, you can deploy a very large amount of capital, and the return multiple-wise may be smaller than a very successful software or model or language model company. But the return will be very steady." He acknowledged the competitive dynamic now reshaping software. "With the advancement of AI, creating new software is much easier now. For somebody to copy somebody else's software idea, it's going to become cheaper and easier. But software does have network effects. Once you build a platform, users are with you. I don't know how those forces will converge over time." ### Related Stocks - [HUT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HUT.US.md) - [MARA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MARA.US.md) - [COIN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIN.US.md) - [GLXY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLXY.US.md) - [RIOT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RIOT.US.md) - [BGIN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BGIN.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [IBLC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBLC.US.md) - [LMBO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LMBO.US.md) - [MNRS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MNRS.US.md) - [BLOK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BLOK.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Hut 8 Commits $16 Million to Expand Water Infrastructure in West Feliciana Parish | HUT Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286894933.md) - [NEAR Protocol - AI PII Anonymization - Date (20 May 2026)](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287125820.md) - [02:00 ETWSPN Launches W Agent: A Stablecoin Payment Skill Built for the AI Agent Economy](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286515700.md) - [06:00 ETKuCoin Releases $2B Trust Project Annual Review, Marking Major Milestones in Security, Compliance, Transparency and User Protection](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286543548.md) - [Jacobs (J) Deepens AI Data Center Ties With Hut 8 Is Its Digital Pivot Durable?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286651966.md)
