Co-founder Binance Changpen Zhao has called on world governments to shift stock markets to blockchain and issue their own state-owned stablecoins. In his view, tokenization of equities democratizes investments by providing round-the-clock trading, instant settlements, and the ability to buy fractional shares of expensive securities, which will attract global capital. The volume of tokenized real assets (RWA) has already reached $32 billion and, according to forecasts by Citi, could grow to $8.2 trillion by 2030.
Zhao also emphasized the need for national stablecoins to support local currencies in digital payments, noting that now 99% of the $315 billion stablecoin market is in the US dollar. Founder Binance believes that by 2031, the blockchain will be the mainstay of global payments, and countries that ignore crypto and AI technologies will inevitably lose their technological competitiveness.
