Changpeng Zhao’s “Buy the Dip” Comment Fuels Hopes of Crypto Rebound

Former Binance chief Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, recently stirred speculation across the crypto community with a simple, joking tweet: “Hope you bought the dip,” followed by a laughing emoji.

Though lighthearted on the surface, the message has sparked debates over whether CZ was hinting at a possible turnaround for the crypto market.

Despite stepping away from Binance leadership, CZ remains a central figure in crypto, commanding a massive audience on X.

His comment came at a time when market sentiment has been shifting — Bitcoin has surged over 8% in the past week, climbing to around $94,760, while Ethereum and XRP have also posted noticeable recoveries. The global crypto market cap now sits just shy of $3 trillion, adding fuel to the growing optimism.

Followers reacted with humor, asking sarcastically if a dip even happened or joking about having no spare funds left to invest. CZ himself chimed in, acknowledging that it’s tough to “buy the dip” when already fully invested in crypto.

While the tweet itself made no explicit market predictions, it coincided with early signs of recovery. Some analysts point to a $9 billion capital inflow over the past week as a signal that the next bull run might be near. Others caution that macroeconomic forces — including geopolitical events and potential tariff changes — could still swing market momentum in either direction.

For now, CZ’s remark serves more as a reflection of cautious optimism rather than a clear forecast, leaving traders divided on whether a true rally is imminent.
