Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, tweeted on March 15, 2025, advising AI agents to prioritize practicality over issuing tokens, suggesting they charge service fees in existing cryptocurrencies.

CZ Urges AI to Use Existing Cryptocurrencies
Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, stated that while cryptocurrencies act as the currency for AI, agents should not rush to issue new tokens. Instead, he suggests they leverage existing cryptocurrencies for service fees.
“While crypto is the currency of AI, not every AI agent needs its own token. Agents can charge service fees in existing cryptocurrencies. Only consider token issuance at scale. Focus on utility, not tokens.”
