Richard Teng, Binance’s co-CEO, stressed that crypto fundamentals remain robust despite short-term price volatility, pointing to accelerating user growth, deeper regulatory engagement, and expanding product offerings as key drivers heading into 2026. He reiterated his stance as a long-term investor, underscoring confidence in the asset class. The executive noted Binance has surpassed 300 million users, signaling substantial global adoption.
Teng highlighted Binance’s regulatory progress, describing the company as the first global crypto exchange to secure a global license meeting what he called “gold standards on governance, transparency, risk management, (and) compliance.” He said these elements enable continued crypto adoption and platform growth. The announcement of new product developments, including what he described as the first regulated perpetual contracts settled in a U.S. dollar stablecoin linked to gold and silver, underscored his intention to expand offerings for users worldwide.
“We are pushing ahead to introduce a lot more product, different product classes for users globally to trade on a 24null7 basis,” he said. Asked about Binance’s ability to operate in the United States, Teng said the company currently has no U.S. presence and declined to speculate on timing or plans. “At this point in time, we are not in the U.S. It’s premature to speculate,” he said. “We are focusing on global deployment. We are holding a very exciting watching brief, watching the developments coming in the U.S., not only in terms of (regulation), but hopefully in terms of market structure.”
