Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao aims at the traditional fundraising methods like initial public offerings or IPOs and venture capital fundraising.
CZ delivered a message at BlockDown 2020 on April 16 and pointed out how blockchain fundraising is better than the traditional fundraising methods that have been “played [for] too long.” He added that “a lot of people know how to play it and they do game [the system].”
“Institutional investors cash out, the CEO gets a big bonus, the retail guys get left holding the bag, and then the company [becomes] a really large public company, and the CEO takes big packages and then leaves, and then the government has to bail them out,” CZ said about IPOs, Cointelegraph reported.
Meanwhile, CZ predicted that blockchain fundraising will grow exponentially.
“I think [the] number of blockchain fundraising activities and the fund raised will continue to increase on a year-to-year basis over the next 10 [to] 20 years,” said CZ.
