He emphasized that writing code is a form of free speech and should be protected.&ldquo;Developers writing code, that code is free speech. So the development is really good,&rdquo; CZ stated.Recent data indicates a shift in investment patterns, with venture capitalists reallocating funds from CeFi projects to invest in the growing DeFi sector.&nbsp;A March&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/crypto-funding-by-sector">report from CoinGecko</a>&nbsp;highlighted that digital asset investment firms invested $2.7 billion in DeFi projects in 2022, marking a 190% increase compared to 2021.In contrast, investments in CeFi projects decreased by 73% to $4.3 billion during the same period.&nbsp;The report suggests that DeFi is emerging as the new high-growth area in the crypto industry, while CeFi may have reached a saturation point.Meanwhile, Binance has&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/binance-drop-support-for-busd-stablecoin-by-2024.htm">recently told users</a>&nbsp;to convert their&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptonews.com/coins/busd/">Binance USD (BUSD)</a>&nbsp;tokens to other stablecoins before February 2024.The exchange encouraged users to trade or convert their BUSD balances for First Digital USD (FDUSD) &mdash; a stablecoin launched in June by the Hong Kong-based trust company First Digital Group which had its debut listing on Binance.It is worth noting that the market cap of BUSD has taken a hard hit following the regulatory clampdown.&nbsp;Since the start of the year, BUSD's market cap has plummeted by over 80%, dropping from $16.13 billion on February 9 to its current value of $3.1 billion.
