- CZ urges crypto investors to take action, emphasizing missed opportunities and the potential for future market growth.
- Institutional adoption expands, with Intesa Sanpaolo and BlackRock deepening their crypto market exposure.
As the crypto market rebounds from recent sell-offs, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and former CEO of Binance, has taken to X to deliver a message that resonates with both seasoned and new investors.
His words come at a critical moment, following a $700 million liquidation event, triggered by fears that the Federal Reserve may be tightening its window for interest rate cuts.
Bitcoin, which briefly dropped below $90,000 earlier this week, has since bounced back, currently trading around $96,605, marking a 5.43% increase in 24 hours.
Other major altcoins, including XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu, have also seen a 6% to 10% recovery, signaling renewed momentum in the crypto market.
A Reflection on Missed Opportunities and Future Potential
CZ’s tweet addresses a common regret among crypto investors—the hesitation to buy during downturns, the reluctance to hold during volatility, and the failure to recognize opportunities in real-time.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish I had…”
bought bitcoins early
bought the dip
held
learned about crypto early
ignored FUDBut when the opportunity presents itself again, will you act?
Today is earlier than all the days to come. 🤷♂️
Not financial advice.

His message suggests that the best time to act is always the present, hinting that another major investment window could be opening.
“Have you ever thought to yourself, ‘I wish I had… bought Bitcoin early, bought the dip, held and learned about crypto early, ignored FUD.’ But when the opportunity presents itself again, will you act? Today is earlier than all the days to come,” CZ wrote on X.
His statement serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of the crypto market—while many investors look back on previous opportunities with regret, those who recognize patterns and take action may stand to benefit in the next market cycle.
Institutional Adoption Continues to Strengthen Bitcoin’s Market Position
Beyond individual investment decisions, the latest market recovery is accompanied by institutional expansion into Bitcoin and crypto assets.
One of the most significant developments comes from Intesa Sanpaolo SpA, Italy’s largest banking group, which has made its first spot Bitcoin purchase with a $1 million investment.
Meanwhile, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, continues to deepen its involvement in the crypto sector.
Its spot Bitcoin ETF now holds $51 billion in assets, and the firm is actively pushing for its money-market digital coin to be used as collateral in crypto derivatives trading.
These institutional moves indicate that crypto adoption is far from slowing down, reinforcing CZ’s perspective that those who take action today may be better positioned for future market cycles.
