Binance founder CZ recently posted on social media that artificial intelligence (AI) and Bitcoin (BTC) serve different functions; AI drives productivity improvements, while Bitcoin is used to combat inflation and protect wealth. CZ stated, "AI is great, but it cannot protect you from the effects of inflation; Bitcoin can."CZ believes that the market often views AI and Bitcoin as two major hot investment themes, but their natures are fundamentally different. AI is a technology that enhances business efficiency and economic productivity, while Bitcoin is a digital asset with a fixed supply. He pointed out that the AI industry is rapidly developing, with global companies continuously investing billions of dollars in AI software, data centers, chips, and other infrastructure, driving transformations in various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. However, AI companies can issue more shares and raise funds for expansion, and their investment value still depends on business performance and market competition. In contrast, Bitcoin has a total fixed supply of 21 million coins, and holders possess a non-dilutable scarce asset. CZ believes this characteristic gives Bitcoin long-term value storage properties, providing protection when the purchasing power of fiat currency declines due to inflation.CZ has also previously stated that the AI boom may attract some funds that would have originally flowed into the Bitcoin market. As AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic gain more capital attention, some investors may sell other assets to allocate to AI-related investments. However, CZ believes that AI and Bitcoin are not in competition; rather, they should be viewed as complementary assets: AI drives technological advancement and productivity improvements, while Bitcoin offers a way to store value that is unaffected by supply expansion.

According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that the CLARITY Act will change the way customer crypto assets are handled when digital asset platforms enter bankruptcy proceedings; customer assets should continue to belong to the customers, rather than being included in the company's bankruptcy estate.The bill requires regulated digital asset intermediaries to treat customer cash and digital assets as customer property and to segregate them from company property. The bill also generally prohibits brokers, dealers, and exchanges from using customer assets for their own or others' benefit without authorization.The bankruptcies of Celsius and Voyager sparked disputes over the ownership of customer deposits. In January 2023, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn ruled that the cryptocurrency deposited in Celsius Earn accounts became company property under the terms of use, involving approximately 600,000 Earn accounts and about $4.2 billion in assets.Lummis stated that the CLARITY Act also aims to provide regulatory certainty for developers, enhance investor protection, and improve market integrity. The bill will clarify the responsibilities of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in different areas of the crypto market, and it has already passed the House of Representatives but has not yet passed the Senate.
