Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has identified new sectors attracting cryptocurrency investment. During a recent Binance Square AMA, Zhao suggested real-world asset tokenization and prediction markets are gaining significant attention.
He indicated that national governments are driving interest in RWA tokenization. “Every country I talk to wants to tokenize some asset in their country,” Zhao stated during the session.
He explained the financial incentive for nations to pursue this path. “For countries, if you tokenize an asset, the countries get money immediately,” Zhao was quoted as saying.
The former executive provided a specific example using a natural resource. He suggested tokenizing Turkestan’s water reserves, noting its high value per liter.
Zhao also highlighted prediction markets as a potential growth area. He linked their activity to major global events like the World Cup and elections.
His comments were later summarized in a social media post. Zhao acknowledged his predictions could be incorrect, noting unexpected trends often emerge.
