Binance chief executive Richard Teng reaffirmed the growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets, stressing that clear regulatory frameworks are essential for the next phase of crypto industry growth. Posting on social media platform X this week, Teng shared his perspective on the sector’s progress and future direction.

Teng opined:

Crypto is now mainstream. Clear regulations will drive greater adoption, and we’re working with regulators to make that happen.

The Binance executive also told CNBC this week that digital assets have evolved beyond their early retail phase: “For the longest time, crypto was a very retail play, niche asset class, specialty asset class. Now, it has gone mainstream.” He noted that 2024 and 2025 have seen record institutional participation as corporates and asset managers expand exposure to cryptocurrencies.

He explained that regulatory clarity is critical for ensuring responsible growth and broader participation in the global financial system. He cited progress across 22 licensed jurisdictions and said that “smart regulation” supporting stablecoins, trading, and custody can accelerate adoption across multiple sectors. He also pointed to the United States’ policy shift toward more supportive crypto legislation as an example of how well-structured rules can encourage innovation, attract institutional capital, and strengthen confidence in digital finance worldwide.

“If you look at the long-term trend of it, the momentum is still very strong. It’s still very bullish,” Teng stressed. “There’s a lot of support … we’re seeing support from different sectors—from the institutions, from the traders, from the asset allocators, the family offices, and even sovereigns setting up their own crypto allocation in this space.” The Binance chief emphasized:

So to me, the long-term trend is very bullish. We are still at a very early stage, probably 7.5% crypto adoption globally. So going forward, I still envisage quite a lot of demand coming through on that.
