Big Brother Zhao Changpeng's Quotes $WLFI #WLFI
Four years ago, he was forced to leave the mainland, and now he returns to Hong Kong in a sharp suit.
The audience is packed, with high-level regulators, institutional investors, and project founders gathered — Zhao Changpeng's first words set the tone: “The ship hasn’t capsized, it’s just switched to a different route.” Applause erupted instantly.
“I’m back, and the story has just begun.”
After four years away, traveling through many countries, he ultimately chose Hong Kong.
In 2021, Binance was asked to leave the mainland, and Zhao Changpeng said goodbye on Weibo: “Green mountains and clear waters, we shall meet again.”
From 2022 to 2024, Dubai, Paris, and Abu Dhabi all invited him to land, but he left the most important stop for Hong Kong.
On August 27, 2025, a speech at the University of Hong Kong — the former “fugitive,” now speaks at home.
Six core viewpoints, each heavy-hitting:
1. Stablecoins: A Hidden Opportunity for RMB Internationalization
“USDT has secretly helped the dollar conduct hundreds of billions in cross-border business — the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin is the new ticket for the RMB to go global.”
2. RWA: What Should Go on Chain Are Financial Assets, Not Houses
“Don’t forcibly break down luxury homes into ten thousand parts; what should go on chain are stocks and bonds. Whoever does this first will be the next generation of the New York Stock Exchange.”
3. Exchanges: Hong Kong Doesn’t Need to Reinvent the Wheel
“Building an exchange can cost 1 billion USD + 300 security experts. Open regulatory cooperation saves money that could fund tea for ten years.”
4. The Future Belongs to DEX: Email Registration Will Eventually Be Replaced by Wallet Login
“Right now, you think CEX is convenient, but later DEX will be the norm. Big players are already migrating, don’t wait until the whole market changes course to follow.”
5. AI Will Trade with Each Other, Blockchain Will Enable Instant Micro-Payments
“A transaction between AIs may only cost 0.01 USD — banks ignore it, but it can be done on the chain. This hides the next trillion-dollar market.”
6. Advice for Hong Kong: Be Fast, Be Open, Look to the Margins
“Regulators must avoid seeking perfection before taking action; liquidity must be globally accessible; proactively lay out DEX and AI — today’s non-mainstream is tomorrow’s main battlefield.”
In his final sentence, he paused slightly:
“After four years away, I once thought I could never return to the Chinese-speaking world. But standing here, I know — everything has just switched routes, and now, the ship has just set sail.”
Is four years not enough to change from east to west?
Sometimes, disruption only takes a moment, and so does returning.
