Binance CEO: Mainstreaming encryption requires clear regulation and institutional entry to enhance market Depth and resilience.

BlockBeats reported that on November 4, Binance CEO Richard Teng stated at Hong Kong Fintechweek 2025 that the mainstreaming of Crypto Assets requires two elements: clear regulation and institutional participation. Previously, regulatory bodies were reluctant to invest time, energy, and resources to understand this field, but that has changed. Furthermore, any asset class that relies solely on retail investor participation lacks depth and breadth. Once institutions get on board, they bring different investment timelines, strategies, and scales, significantly enhancing market Depth and resilience. When pressed by the host on whether the entry of institutions leading to reduced market Fluctuation also undermines the core concept of decentralized Crypto Assets, Richard Teng stated that he completely disagrees. The more different types of players are brought into the stage, the more active and vibrant the market becomes. Although encryption technology itself relies on characteristics such as Decentralization and immutability, the presence of centralized players can indeed maximize the value of the technology. The best scenario is to leverage both the “decentralized technological advantages” while providing the “best centralized experience.”
