Binance CEO Richard Teng Declares: Institutions Are Going All-In on Crypto

Published by

Binance CEO Richard Teng just dropped an update on Wall Street. In an X post, Teng declared the next decade won’t be about crypto hype but its deep integration into global finance. 

Forget the old “should we invest?” Institutions are now focused on how to make crypto a cornerstone of their strategies. Here’s why this shift is massive and what it means for the future.

Institutions Are All In

Teng points to real changes that are underway. Heavyweights like Moody’s and Alphaledger just pulled off a historic trial, tokenizing municipal bonds on the Solana blockchain with embedded credit ratings. 

This is the first time that tokenized debt on a public chain is being experimented with by a leading ratings agency.  In the meantime, Vivek Ramaswamy co-founded Strive Asset Management, funded an incredible $750 million to buy distressed Bitcoin-linked debt, including claims from Mt. Gox.

These aren’t small bets; they scream confidence in crypto as a legit, long-term asset class.

Crypto Winter? It Might Be Over

The long crypto winters we’ve seen in the past might be behind us. Michael Saylor—known for his massive Bitcoin investments – recently said as much, pointing to growing government support and clearer regulation as signs the space is maturing.

Teng seems to agree. And the numbers back it up: a new survey from Coinbase found that 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their crypto holdings in 2025.

This isn’t about guessing what might happen. It’s already happening, whether people notice it or not.

The Financial World’s New Playbook

The rules are being rewritten by this institutional push. Wall Street is embracing digital assets with tokenized bonds and Bitcoin debt arrangements. 

Teng’s point is very clear: the discussion of cryptocurrency has moved from skepticism to strategy. A decade of unheard-of development and legitimacy is ahead of us when blockchain and finance clash.

The takeaway?

Richard Teng’s statement highlights that crypto’s institutional wave is here, and it’s bringing opportunity like never before. Watch closely, this is the future of finance unfolding.
