Richard Tang, CEO of Binance, noted that digital assets have firmly taken a place in the strategies of the largest financial market participants. According to him, even traditionally cautious sovereign wealth funds have begun to add Bitcoin to their portfolios. Such structures are known for their tendency to avoid risks, but now they are showing interest in relatively stable assets suitable for long-term investments.
Tang also spoke about the growing participation of family offices and individuals with large fortunes in the crypto market. According to him, the growth in the number of wallets with more than 100 BTC indicates that wealthy investors are strengthening their positions in anticipation of a possible rise in the Bitcoin rate. These large coin holders, called "whales", are forming a new wave of demand for crypto assets.
The emergence of spot Bitcoin ETFs has also had a significant impact on the development of the market. These funds provide an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency without having to directly own it. Teng emphasized that such instruments serve as a link between the traditional financial sector and the crypto industry. Since the beginning of 2025, spot ETFs have attracted multi-billion dollar investments to the crypto market, which has contributed to an increase in trading activity and made market fluctuations less sharp.
Against this background, pension funds, management companies and insurers are increasingly entering the crypto industry. If previously they were afraid of regulatory risks, now they are increasingly considering cryptocurrency ETFs as an acceptable option for asset diversification. According to Teng, this is not a temporary trend, but a sign of large-scale changes in the market structure. Bitcoin, which was once perceived only as “digital gold”, is becoming a full-fledged element of balanced investment portfolios.
In addition, Teng expressed hope for positive changes in the regulation of the industry in connection with the rise to power of Donald Trump, known for his support of cryptocurrencies. He expects the emergence of clear and stable rules for market participants, which, according to the head of Binance, will contribute to the further development of the crypto industry.
