When the man who built the world's largest crypto exchange speaks, the entire market listens.
His latest post? Just four words that could define this entire cycle.
"The FOMO is just starting..."
Let that sink in for a moment.
This is coming from Changpeng Zhao. A man who transformed a startup into a $300 billion daily trading volume machine. A man who has seen every cycle, every pump, every crash, every capitulation event since 2017.
When CZ says FOMO is starting, not peaking, you need to pay attention.
Here's what makes this interesting:
The Fear and Greed Index is sitting around 64 right now. That's greed territory, yes. But nowhere near the extreme levels we saw before major tops. We're not even close to the euphoria phase yet.
Remember December 2024? The index hit 90+. That was extreme greed. That was when your Uber driver started asking about altcoins. That was when your grandma wanted to know how to buy Dogecoin.
We're nowhere near that level today.
But here's what most people missed:
Four days before dropping this bomb, CZ posted about handling FOMO responsibly. The message was clear: It's okay to feel FOMO. Everyone does. The difference between winners and losers in this market is how you act on it.
Smart money doesn't chase green candles. Smart money positions before the green candles arrive.
Think about the timing here. Bitcoin was trading above $105,000 when CZ posted this. The market had just recovered from a brutal correction. Most retail traders were still licking their wounds from buying the top and selling the bottom.
And yet, one of the most influential figures in crypto was saying the real FOMO hasn't even started.
What this tells me:
We're still early in this leg of the cycle. The retail wave hasn't fully arrived. Your barber isn't asking about altcoins yet. Your Uber driver isn't shilling you memecoins. Your family WhatsApp group isn't flooded with crypto tips.
That phase is coming. And when it does, the market will move in ways that make today's prices look like a bargain.
The question is: Will you be positioned when it happens, or will you be the one FOMOing in at the top?
CZ didn't build Binance by following the crowd. He built it by being positioned before the crowd arrived.
Don't let four words from CZ become your "I should have listened" moment six months from now.
Stay sharp. Stay positioned. The FOMO is just starting.
What's your take? Are you positioned for what comes next?
