In an interview with Bloomberg, Changpeng Zhao, the Chief Executive Officer, Binance, talked about traders sticking towards cryptocurrencies and not the digital currency that the Central Bank in China has introduced. He believes that traders will favor the cryptocurrency only as it gives more freedom to the users.
Changpeng Zhao opined that Bitcoin and Ether cryptocurrencies will co-exist for some time now. There are more restrictive digital coins around like China’s Central Bank digital currency that has been issued lately.
Zhao believes that these digital currencies issued by the central bank will be different from what already exists in many ways. He believes that these coins will not have the freedom that traders enjoy with cryptocurrencies. Also, these controlled coins will not have a supply in place. Zhao is popularly known as CZ in his circle and runs the world’s biggest bitcoin exchange.
He is not in favor of the central bank’s digital currency and feels that there will be a lot of control over them. He further argued that there are many differences between the central bank-controlled digital currency and the public cryptocurrencies.

Hence, he does not see any future for the central bank version of coins.
