CZ says tokenization is one of the best ways to attract foreign direct investment

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao called for “tokenizing everything,” arguing that tokenization is one of the best ways for countries to raise capital or attract foreign direct investment. In his post, Zhao asked which country or company would not want to sell its tokenized stock to a global market, framing tokenization as a cross-border funding tool with broad appeal. He said he supports tokenization on all blockchains, even though that approach can create liquidity fragmentation. Zhao added that fragmentation could be eased to some extent if issuers achieve a high degree of fungibility across products. He also reposted data from BNB Chain showing that the number of RWA holders on the network had reached 776,000, up about 370% over the past 30 days. The comments and data point together to Zhao’s view that wider token issuance and broader blockchain participation can help speed up the sector’s development, while interoperability between issuers may reduce some of the market structure issues that come with expansion.
