Binance Founder CZ Calls Meme Coins Weird
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has urged the crypto community to shift its focus from meme coins and focus on real-world meaningful projects running on the blockchain. On November 26, Changpeng Zhao expressed his increasing dissatisfaction with the meme coin ecosystem. In a post on X, he remarked that meme coins have shifted from being amusing in their early days to becoming “a little” weird.
I am not against memes, but meme coins are getting "a little" weird now.
Let's build real applications using blockchain.
— CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) November 26, 2024
Many of Zhao’s followers backed his call to prioritize developing real decentralized applications (DApps) over capitalizing on hype. However, some critics pointed fingers at Binance, his former crypto exchange, for listing meme coins that lack clear utility.
On the other hand, some users questioned why Binance’s crypto derivatives platform Binance Futures continues to list new meme coins on its platform. Following the listing of two meme coins, WHY and CHEEMS, on Monday, November 26, their market price crashed within a day.
