Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, CEO of Binance, criticized the creation of a novel “free-to-own” business model in the GameFi space on Tuesday, writing: “If everything will be free in the world, why do we have to work so hard…” The Binance CEO then explained that nothing is absolutely free, pointing to how the exchange can offer zero trading fees for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) pairs because of the adequate revenue generated from other trading pairs. He added that new projects that allow players to sign up for free can be high risk for early adopters.
