BlockBeats reported that on January 24, Binance founder CZ said in an interview with CNBC in Davos, 'Three months after being pardoned by Trump, I feel freer in the past three months, and I think it's more of a psychological change. It's like a heavy burden has finally been lifted. I was actually free before, but carrying the identity of a serious criminal. But now I am a truly free person.'

CZ's candid prison experience was very bad, and it was 'highly consistent' with the movie portrayal, including the strict physical examination on the day of imprisonment. The first cellmate was a double murderer who had served about 12 years and still had 18 years left to serve. He stated that he never expected to go to prison, because in American history, no one has ever been sentenced to prison for a single violation (the Bank Secrecy Act); similar cases in the past were mostly deferred prosecution agreements (DPA) or home confinement. He originally expected at most to be under house arrest for 6–12 months and was surprised to actually be imprisoned.

BlockBeats message, January 24, Binance founder CZ stated during an interview with CNBC in Davos, when asked "If you could do it all over again, what different choices would you make," that "I would have blocked U.S. users from day one. That's the most critical point; the core issue is regulatory. When we initially built the technology platform, we actually had U.S. users, and I was in Shanghai at the time. We were just a small tech startup. But about six years later, we realized that this situation was deemed a violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. If I had known this at the time, if I could do it over, I would definitely have blocked U.S. users from day one; that would have saved us a lot of trouble."

It is completely impossible to predict the short-term fluctuations of Bitcoin, but it is easy to predict the performance of Bitcoin in the long term. From a one-year perspective, I am not sure about 2026, but I have a strong feeling that Bitcoin will enter a super cycle in 2026.

Historically, Bitcoin has typically followed a four-year cycle. Looking back at historical data, a new all-time high tends to occur approximately every four years, followed by a correction. However, I believe that this year, with the U.S. being so supportive of cryptocurrencies and other countries following suit, we are likely to see this situation change, and it is even possible to break the previous four-year cycle.
