Speaking about Binance’s interest in acquiring the battered crypto lenders, CZ Binance said:
“We did look at a lot of lenders in recent months because that’s where all the issues are. Many of them, they just take a user’s money and give it to somebody else. There’s not a lot of intrinsic value. In that case, what’s to acquire? We want to see real products that people use.”

Binance CEO also revealed the interest of the company in non-fungible Tokens (NFTs). He said:
“DeFi (decentralized finance) works. NFTs are a lot more than selling pictures of monkeys. NFT use cases have not largely been well built – NFTs for tickets, for university degrees. I think the technology will stay.”
In the course of the interview, CZ claimed that the leading trading platform has remained profitable this year despite the fact that most cryptocurrencies have lost over 50% of their value.
