CZ: Global Crypto Compliance Adoption, While Challenging, Continues to Make Progress

BlockBeats News, August 27th, Binance founder CZ stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference:

“Many countries still lack a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency, in fact, only a few countries have one. So I think there are indeed people in the government who understand Bitcoin, but they may still be in the minority. Moreover, especially in many countries, the government is led by older people, like the slightly older generation, and naturally, that generation is slower in accepting new technology. They also rely more on traditional news, and traditional news usually has a more negative view of cryptocurrency, so their mindset is often slightly more pessimistic."

“But I do feel a shift. What I mean is, this shift is definitely happening among many different country leaders and politicians around the world. No one denies that this is a new technology, and no one denies that they need to adopt it. But sometimes they still hold prejudices, but more and more people are explaining to them that the reality is not like that."

“Now many people are focusing on centralized exchanges, which has usually been the focus in the past few years and last year; many countries are focusing on stablecoins, which is a good thing because the U.S. lacks clarity in this area, so there is a lot of debate and attention."

“Many countries do not have a crypto reserve, and I often advise them to establish a crypto reserve, which is generally better and very important for the long-term development of a country. Many countries have also not issued their stablecoins; we need to put their own currency on the blockchain so that they can capture liquidity in their own currency and at the same time promote liquidity of their own currency on the blockchain."

“In addition to stocks and traditional financial instruments, many countries are also considering tokenized assets, such as rare earths, real estate, cultural artworks, intellectual property, and so on. So there is a lot of discussion in these areas. Many countries are very interested in tokenization because they see it as a way to attract funds into the country, or to allow buyers from outside the country to purchase these assets. So these discussions are happening on a large scale."
