CZ: The development of Real World Assets (RWA) will ultimately benefit Bitcoin, attracting U.S. stock market funds to enter the crypto market.

Binance founder CZ told attendees at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference: "Tokenized assets are a net positive for Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry. Those who understand Bitcoin will eventually explore other blockchains, tokens, and related areas; meanwhile, individuals entering the space through stock tokenization will also come to notice Bitcoin. For instance, right now in Hong Kong, Asians seeking to purchase US stocks face major barriers opening a brokerage account. For the small number who can secure US brokerage accounts, trading hours are highly inconvenient—US stock markets typically run from 11 PM to 4 AM daily. Tokenization actually democratizes access to stock markets, allowing people who couldn’t buy US stocks before to do so. They access these via crypto platforms, and once on these platforms, they are likely to gain exposure to Bitcoin that they wouldn’t have had otherwise. Over time, this effect will continue to build. So, what’s good for tokenized stocks is also beneficial for traditional stock markets and Bitcoin. I believe all these developments reinforce each other. The entire ecosystem is not a competitive space where one project goes up against another."
