Crypto Industry Shifts Focus from Trading to Real-World Financial Access
According to Richard Teng, CEO at Binance, the crypto industry is shifting its focus from trading. Users are now leveraging stablecoins as financial infrastructure and utilizing them in their daily lives.
Teng notes that meaningful innovation is driven by practical, secure, and accessible solutions for users. This is evident in the growing adoption of cryptocurrency-based products such as ETFs and commodity trading options.
