Binance founder Changpeng Zhao remains completely unshaken by recent crypto market turbulence, advising digital asset investors to maintain a firm long-term perspective.
In a recent social media post addressing market anxieties, Zhao simplified his core strategy for navigating volatile periods, telling market participants they “don’t have to do anything” except hold onto their current positions.
This stance directly aligns with his overall macroeconomic perspective. Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” earlier this year, the recently pardoned executive predicted that 2026 could trigger a historic Bitcoin “super-cycle.”
Zhao argued that favorable regulatory shifts in the United States, which other nations are now following, are fundamentally altering market dynamics. The Binance founder suggested this shifting regulatory landscape could shatter Bitcoin’s traditional four-year halving cycle of supply-driven peaks and subsequent corrections.
While avoiding short-term price predictions, Zhao emphasized that a five-to-ten-year horizon points resolutely upward, confirming he does not trade actively but holds his Bitcoin and BNB long-term.
 
Despite his macro optimism, near-term technical indicators show a cooling market. Bitcoin recently pulled back from a peak near $98,000 to trade around $90,866, slipping beneath the Ichimoku cloud and key exponential moving averages.
Analysts identify $88,000 as a crucial defense line to avoid drops toward $85,000, while a reclaim of $93,000 is required to revive bullish momentum.
This cautious sentiment carried directly into the monthly transition. Bitcoin closed May 31 at $73,579.69 before opening June 1 at $72,630.82, though it held a modest 1.59% 24-hour gain. Furthermore, the crypto market’s capitalization dropped 1.24% over the past day to $2.46 trillion, pushing the Crypto Fear and Greed Index into “Fear” at 33.
Meanwhile, capital is still anchored in Bitcoin. The Altcoin Season Index registered at 39/100, remaining unchanged from last month but up slightly from yesterday’s 37 and last week’s 35. This figure keeps the market in “Bitcoin Season,” well below the yearly high of 78 recorded in September 2025 but above the low of 14 from December 2025.
Looking at other top assets, major altcoins recorded minor recoveries: Ethereum rose 1.85% to $1,981.41, BNB climbed 2.58% to $701.42, and XRP added 2.27% to sit at $1.30.
