Financial institutions are coming in bigger and bigger than ever before.

We are also seeing traditional financial services from some of the big names moving into the crypto space.

Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, explained that Bitcoin is not only a currency, but also a multi-asset technology and a whole new platform.

For this reason, many leading financial institutions view it as an investment vehicle.

The CEO emphasized that digital assets will play a huge role in the future cash network.

However, predicting which sectors of the economy they will invade will be very difficult at the moment.

Regulatory issues:

The largest cryptocurrency trading platform has faced some hurdles from regulators recently.

Monitoring and regulators in the UK, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore have issued multiple regulatory warnings about Binance in the past months.

A few weeks ago, South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) also joined that list.

According to the regulator, Binance does not have the necessary registration to provide brokerage services or make investment recommendations in the African country.

In an effort to solve these problems, CZ assured that the trading venue will change its structure.

We are making these changes to make it easier for regulators to work with us.
