The era of the entrepreneurial king has come to an end! Just now, CZ announced to the world: an era has completely ended.
When CZ said "I’m not starting a business anymore" in Davos, it was not merely a declaration of departure from a giant, but a clarion call for the entire crypto industry signaling a change of eras. This means that the old cycle, centered around exchanges and dominated by price games, has come to a close, and a new era has begun, one that is based on infrastructure and value flow.
CZ's turn signifies the three pillars of the new cycle: asset tokenization, payment networks and stablecoins, and AI-driven economy. Among these, stablecoins and the capital efficiency layer, which serve as the cornerstone for value "carrying and flow," are undoubtedly one of the most certain tracks for the future. And on this track, @lista_dao, as a top protocol invested by Binance Labs, is precisely playing a key role as the "financial conduit of the new cycle."
The core of Lista DAO is to build a highly efficient, stable, and scalable capital routing layer. It perfectly fits the underlying logic of the new cycle:
Capital efficiency is king: It allows users to stake BNB to earn interest-bearing assets slisBNB through an innovative LSDfi solution, and immediately collateralize it to borrow stablecoins lisUSD (USD1). This directly transforms static assets into productive capital, ensuring that funds are never idle.
Pioneering connections with TradFi: As the first protocol on BNB Chain to incorporate a native RWA (real world assets) module, Lista DAO has taken the lead in introducing traditional assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral for generating stablecoins. This aligns perfectly with the historic trend of "asset tokenization."
Solid infrastructure position: By 2025, its TVL peak will exceed $4.5 billion, firmly ranking among the top three in the ecosystem, proving that it has become an indispensable financial infrastructure of BNB Chain.
Entering 2026, its strategic path becomes clearer: expanding to Ethereum, deepening RWA integration, and optimizing a unified lending experience. This is not about chasing trends, but about systematically building the future financial layer that CZ envisions, one that transcends exchanges.
Therefore, as CZ turns toward a broader investment horizon, savvy participants should pay attention to those protocols that are constructing the future itself. Lista DAO, by building a robust stablecoin and capital efficiency system, provides us with a first-class ticket to board this "infrastructure cycle" train.
