Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, revealed a massive 589% growth in real-world assets (RWA) on blockchain since early 2025. The surge encompasses public equities, which alone jumped 422%, along with bonds and money market funds that added $6.5 billion—an 83% increase. Newer segments like reinsurance and GPU tokenization also rose 72%, signaling a broader shift toward asset tokenization.
Separately, Teng addressed Binance’s ongoing pursuit of a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license in Europe. He reassured users that the exchange is committed to minimizing disruption and safeguarding funds amid regulatory uncertainty, aiming to maintain trust within its European community as the licensing process advances.
