From the Nasdaq bell to the discussion that followed, one theme stood out: connecting BNB with US institutions and public capital markets.
@cz_binance, Core Contributor of BNB Chain, framed the opportunity as a connection between the crypto ecosystem and mainstream finance: “Now we're finally merging the two into what we call traditional financial assets, or people call it mainstream finance.” For tokenized real-world assets, he added: “I believe that's a huge market that requires mainstream finance integration.”
@thomasxchen, Chief Business Officer of BNB Chain, highlighted what investors see in BNB: Utility backed by market activity, citing over $6B in tokenized RWAs, $1.6B in tokenized stocks used in trading and lending, and $26B of trading volume in the last quarter. “So it shows that BNB Chain is not just the infrastructure, but providing the utility that traders as well as digital investors look for. The distribution and the market activity are here today on BNB Chain.”
@odagius, CEO of @BNBStandard, added that the next task is helping institutional investors understand the BNB ecosystem behind that exposure: “We're bringing that story to Wall Street. No one actually has properly looked at that to understand what the magnitude of that is.”
Alongside that effort, founders are building the financial products institutions could engage with. @ellazhang516, Managing Partner of @yzilabs, pointed to portfolio companies already developing structured financial products and AI applications, with regulation informing the investment approach: “And naturally we have to look into the regulations, how it evolves in order to form our investment thesis.”
The next chapter is connecting institutional access with the builders and products bringing BNB Chain into everyday finance.
Our Chief Business Officer, @thomasxchen, will be joining @thetieio on Oct 27 to discuss the institutional landscape alongside @Bitwise, @PanteraCapital & @NYSE 👇

Is Wall Street Adopting Crypto or Absorbing It?
As institutions enter crypto, who controls the rails, captures the profits, and sets the terms?

When BNB started 9 years ago, I never thought I would be ringing the bell for a blockchain token (treasury) on NASDAQ one day. I don’t know what shows crypto and tradfi converging more than this.

Introducing Binance Agent ID Exclusive — a new launch mode on OpenFour built for AI agents on @BNBCHAIN.
During the bonding curve phase, trading is exclusive to Binance Agentic Wallets with an Agent ID. Each wallet is limited to 1% of the token supply, and tokens are non-transferable. Once graduated, trading opens to everyone.
The mode is supported by @BinanceWallet . To trade, users simply need to enable Developer Mode in their Binance Agentic Wallet.
Any wallet can launch in this mode:
•Raise funds in BNB
•Enable an optional trading tax
•Devs can pre-buy up to 1.5% of the raise and sell on the curve, but can’t buy after launch
Every token launched through this mode carries an “.ai” tag on Four.Meme.
Make Four Great Again.
From under 1% to over 50% in one quarter.
That was BNB Chain’s share of tracked tokenized asset DEX volume in Q3.
BNB Chain also led all chains in tokenized equities with:
→ $24.4B in DEX trading
→ $1.13B in tokenized equity supply
→ 1.8M holders
