Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao noted that the rapid growth of the decentralized finance industry (DeFi) greatly influenced the development of its projects. Thanks to DeFi, the cryptocurrency rate has become more resistant to alarming news, given the growing number of blocked cryptocurrencies in liquidity pools. The DeFi industry will surpass centralized exchanges in the long run, Zhao said, but that won’t happen soon.

Zhao explained that despite the large amount of assets blocked in the DeFi, the number of active users is still small. The head of Binance has already stated that 99.9% of all money in the world is in fiat currencies, so centralized exchanges will serve as a link between cryptocurrencies and traditional finance.
