At the Consensus Miami 2026 conference, Binance founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), said YZi Labs currently allocates 70% of its capital to blockchain, 20% to AI, and 10% to biotechnology.
He linked the future of BNB Chain to the rise of AI agents, arguing that blockchains must become “AI-ready” to support agentic payments and AI tool protocols such as MCP.
According to CZ, AI agents will increasingly need to transact autonomously with other agents for cross-border services, subscriptions, bookings, and microtransactions — areas where traditional payment infrastructure falls short.
CZ emphasized that blockchain is the most native payment layer for AI-driven interactions.
On RWA, CZ noted that although he viewed the sector as overvalued a year ago, he has since changed his perspective and now believes real-world assets are both legitimate and currently undervalued.
