🌍CZ BRINGS CRYPTO TO THE GLOBAL STAGE AT DAVOS
At WEF 2026 in Davos, crypto wasn’t sitting on the sidelines it was part of the main conversation shaping the future of finance. And right at the center of that shift was Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.
CZ took the stage to highlight how far the industry has come — and where the next wave of growth is forming.
He began with what crypto has already proven at scale:
🏦 Exchanges Platforms like Binance and Coinbase now operate in increasingly regulated environments, serving as gateways between traditional finance and digital assets.
💵 Stablecoins Quietly becoming the financial bridge between fiat systems and blockchain networks, enabling faster and more efficient global transfers.
But the real focus was on what comes next.
🌍 State-level asset tokenization Governments and institutions exploring blockchain infrastructure for real-world assets.
💳 Crypto as invisible payment rails – Powering transactions behind the scenes without users even realizing it.
🤖 AI agents transacting in crypto – Autonomous systems using blockchain as their native financial layer.
CZ wasn’t the only major voice present. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong also reinforced the case for economic freedom and Bitcoin’s role in a more open system.
At the same time, the World Economic Forum released a paper highlighting growing collaboration between banks and blockchain networks, signaling that institutional adoption is shifting from experimentation to implementation.
The takeaway from Davos is clear:
Crypto is no longer an outsider trying to prove itself.
It’s becoming part of the core architecture of global finance.
The conversation has changed and now the focus is on how quickly integration accelerates from here.
