Bybit Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou shared insights on the cryptocurrency industry's path to maturity during a fireside chat at Consensus 2026. Ben mentioned that over the past decade, crypto has evolved from an investment product into the 'plumbing' of the future financial system. From stablecoins to RWA tokenization, the crypto industry boasts 24/7 availability, borderless access, and programmability. Crypto's role is to reduce friction in the financial system, not to replace banks. Ben emphasized that the infrastructure of the crypto industry will become the new 'backend' of the financial system, quietly transforming the financial landscape. Users care about instant transfers and access to global markets, rather than directly using cryptocurrencies—similar to the shift brought by cloud computing services. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=56631
