Binance CEO Richard Teng has stirred the crypto world by hinting at the possibility of more countries adopting national crypto reserves, following the U.S. government’s groundbreaking embrace of digital assets. Speaking on Thursday, Teng emphasized that America’s recent crypto-friendly strides have sparked a ripple effect globally, inspiring other nations to follow suit.
Teng’s comments come in the wake of the U.S. under the Trump administration unveiling a national Bitcoin reserve earlier this year—an unprecedented move backed by a newly outlined regulatory framework for digital assets. The bold initiative has set a new benchmark, positioning the U.S. as a global leader in the crypto policy arena.
According to a Financial Times report, Teng confirmed that Binance is already in early discussions with several countries exploring the launch of their own strategic digital asset reserves. Although he refrained from naming any specific nations, the news has ignited speculation across the crypto community.
Crucially, Teng highlighted Binance’s proactive role in these developments. Nearly 25% of the exchange’s 6,000-strong workforce is now dedicated to compliance and regulatory framework development, reflecting Binance’s long-term commitment to global crypto integration.
“We’ve been approached by quite a lot of countries,” Teng noted, without divulging further details. This growing interest underscores a significant shift in how governments are viewing digital assets—not merely as speculative instruments but as strategic financial tools.

As the world’s leading centralized crypto exchange, Binance is strategically leveraging its global reach to assist countries in shaping robust crypto ecosystems. Teng added, “Compared to many other jurisdictions, [the US] is way ahead on that front,” highlighting how America’s stance has become a model for others.
CoinGape recently reported Teng attributing Binance’s continued success to this regulatory foresight and strategic partnerships. As the conversation around national crypto reserves heats up, Binance stands poised at the center of a potential new wave of global financial transformation.
