Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, has called on global governments to embrace blockchain technology by tokenizing stock markets and issuing sovereign stablecoins. His proposal aims to broaden access to capital markets and increase the global utility of national currencies.

What CZ Is Proposing

CZ used a recent post on X to advocate for countries to tokenize their stocks, allowing worldwide buyers. He also proposed that governments launch their own stablecoins to expand their currency’s usage on the blockchain. The comments came as tokenized equities see increasing adoption among major financial institutions.

Beyond social media advocacy, CZ revealed he has been actively engaging with government leaders and regulators across Asia on digital asset policy. Was busy meeting a few country leaders and regulators in Asia to advance crypto. Making good progress, he stated. He currently advises several governments on digital asset policy and blockchain integration, including Pakistan’s Crypto Council and Kyrgyzstan, both officially and informally.

Tokenization Gaining Ground

Tokenization is rapidly gaining traction across both crypto and traditional finance. Major institutions including Citigroup and Coinbase have announced plans to expand their tokenized equity offerings. The tokenized assets sector has already grown 256% to nearly $30 billion by April, with industry estimates projecting the market could exceed $400 billion before the end of 2026.

CZ’s vision points to a future where tokenized domestic equities give global investors easier access to capital markets that were previously out of reach. Lower settlement times and improved efficiency are among the benefits he sees from this shift.

Binance’s Regulatory Trouble in Europe

CZ’s push for wider crypto adoption arrives at a complicated moment for Binance. The exchange’s application for a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license in Greece is reportedly facing rejection by the country’s capital markets regulator, according to Reuters.

Under the EU‘s MiCA framework, crypto firms must secure authorization by the end of June to continue operating seamlessly across the bloc. A rejected license could potentially force Binance to suspend services for EU users from July. The exchange says it is working extensively with regulators and expects to provide an update before the deadline.
