Binance CEO Sees Trump as Catalyst for Crypto Revolution

Binance CEO Richard Teng has stated that former U.S. President Trump is a catalyst for a global crypto revolution. Teng mentioned that the industry has moved from a period of regulatory uncertainty and hostility to one where the largest economy in the world wants to embrace crypto. Under Biden’s presidency, regulators were tough on crypto exchanges and firms due to fraud and money laundering concerns. However, the industry prefers the current administration compared to the last one. Trump has also doubled down on his pro-crypto stance with an executive order to create a strategic crypto reserve for the United States.

Separately, there were discussions about acquiring a stake in Binance U.S., but Zhao clarified that he had not talked with anyone about it and that Binance has no business deals with WLF.
