Jocy, the co-founder of IOSG, stated that the current market conditions represent a new era where institutional investors are gradually accumulating rather than a peak of a bull market.
In evaluations made through social media, Jocy added that they are optimistic about the market's outlook, especially for the first half of next year.
According to Jocy, 2025 may seem like the 'darkest year' on the surface for the crypto market, but in reality, it represents the beginning of the institutional era.

Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao, speaking at a year-end Q&A session hosted by BNB Chain, said he has recently been in a four-year capacity. Zhao stated that he has dedicated a significant portion of his time to Giggle Academy, YZi Labs, the BNB ecosystem, and various government service activities.
His recent on-and-off transition, pardoned by US President Donald Trump, has provided significant psychological relief, Zhao said. Despite this, he emphasized that there has been no significant change in his daily life and work routine.
“At least on a psychological level, there’s a feeling of freedom,” Zhao said, “but in practice, my life largely continues as before.”
The first topic Zhao highlighted was Giggle Academy, a free educational platform. The Binance founder said the platform currently has over 90,000 users, is developed by a team of around 60 people, and has built an active community. Zhao stated that Giggle Academy continues to be available with its new features and product range.
His second area of ​​focus is YZi Labs. Here, he primarily works with entrepreneurs, developing product-building teams and taking on a mentor-coach role. He explicitly stated that interacting with early-stage teams is particularly rewarding and fulfilling for him.
Thirdly, Zhao mentioned the advanced support provided to the BNB ecosystem, noting that a natural intersection has been created with YZi Labs in this area. He highlighted that YZi Labs operates on BNB Chain, a significant segment in which YZi Labs has invested.
Zhao's fourth and most time-consuming activity is consulting with governments. He stated that he has conducted formal and informal discussions with approximately a dozen governments, including Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, regarding cryptocurrencies and legal studies.
Zhao emphasized that he does not hold any official position, adding that governments can seek his opinion on withdrawal from the crypto sector in their countries, regulatory adjustments, and detailed information related to the sector.
Having worked from home for a long time, Zhao stated that he was generally satisfied with the feedback and was maintaining his work pace accordingly.
