Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the CEO of the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance, has some hours ago shared his opinion in relation to the current positive trend of the second-largest digital currency by market capitalization, Ethereum (ETH).
In an interview with Bloomberg, CZ stated that there is an increase in the demand for Ethereum (ETH) to purchase assets such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and this is likely impacting the surging momentum of ETH.

CZ Binance noted:
“All of these use cases are moving right now and people need the other coins to do this type of new transaction. Ethereum is one of those clear examples. That’s probably why Ether is going up.”
CZ also pointed out that digital assets to be offered by central banks will be different than cryptocurrencies in many ways. He’s certain about the fact that they won’t offer the same freedom and the usual supply cap.
“Most central-bank digital currencies are going to have a lot of control attached to them. Differences between the two types of coins could make the central-bank version unattractive to people drawn to the crypto world. “At the end of the day, those are core properties that users care about,” CZ Binance said.
