Binance CEO Richard Teng envisions a future where cryptocurrency plays a central role in finance, but he believes two key factors must align for mainstream adoption to take off.

Speaking on The Wolf of All Streets YouTube channel, Teng emphasized the need for clearer regulations. While early adopters have embraced crypto despite regulatory uncertainty, he argues that broader adoption will only happen when people feel secure knowing financial authorities are actively overseeing the industry.
The second crucial element, according to Teng, is institutional involvement. Without major financial institutions participating, crypto markets will remain highly volatile, dominated by retail traders. He suggests that as more institutional investors enter the space with longer-term strategies, price fluctuations will stabilize, and the market’s overall size will expand significantly.

Teng is confident that growing awareness of crypto’s benefits will encourage both individuals and corporations to get involved. He pointed to Standard Chartered’s recent decision to launch a Hong Kong dollar-pegged stablecoin in collaboration with other firms as a sign of shifting sentiment.

Using stablecoins as an example, Teng explained why traditional financial institutions are beginning to embrace digital assets. Instead of waiting days for international transactions to settle, crypto enables instant payments. The ability to mint and transfer stablecoins in real time makes financial processes more efficient and cost-effective, leading Teng to believe that adoption will only accelerate from here.
