Changpeng Zhao, better known as CZ, may no longer be running Binance day to day, but his influence appears to be widening rather than fading. Speaking to an audience in Davos in January 2026, the former exchange CEO confirmed that he is actively advising “probably a dozen governments” on launching national stablecoins and tokenizing sovereign assets.
His core belief is straightforward but far-reaching: every fiat currency should have an on-chain version. What sounds ambitious in theory is already being tested in practice, with Kyrgyzstan emerging as the clearest early example.

What CZ Is Actually Proposing
CZ’s advisory role revolves around two closely linked ideas. The first is the issuance of national stablecoins, pegged 1:1 to local fiat currencies. These would bring government-backed money onto public blockchains, reducing remittance costs, improving transparency, and extending financial access to unbanked populations.
The second pillar is asset tokenization. CZ has encouraged governments to tokenize real-world assets such as infrastructure, real estate, commodities, and even natural resources. By doing so, countries can enable fractional ownership, open access to global capital markets, and fund development projects without relying solely on traditional debt issuance.
He has also argued that government spending itself should be recorded on immutable ledgers. During a 2025 year-end AMA, CZ listed government advisory work as one of his four primary focuses, alongside education, investing, and mentoring. According to him, discussions with policymakers have gone far beyond surface-level crypto curiosity, diving into regulatory design and strategies for attracting blockchain businesses.
Notably, this is not a traditional central bank digital currency model. Unlike CBDCs, which usually run on permissioned systems controlled by central banks, CZ’s approach favors public infrastructure such as BNB Chain. That choice keeps these instruments closer to DeFi rails than to closed, state-run monetary systems.
Where This Is Already Live: Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is the most advanced case so far. CZ was appointed digital assets advisor to President Sadyr Japarov in May 2025, following a cooperation agreement signed a month earlier.
Since then, progress has been tangible. In October 2025, the country launched KGST, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Kyrgyz som and issued on BNB Chain. In parallel, Kyrgyzstan has legally recognized a digital som CBDC, which is being rolled out in three stages: interbank transfers, treasury operations, and offline payments, with full deployment expected in 2026.
Crypto activity in the country has surged alongside these initiatives. Virtual asset transactions exceeded $10 billion in the first half of 2025, a 47% year-over-year increase. The government has also established a national crypto reserve that includes BNB, localized the Binance app into the Kyrgyz language, partnered with 10 universities through Binance Academy, and hosted a 1,000-person crypto meetup in Bishkek.
Perhaps the most striking development is USDKG, launched in late 2025. This USD-pegged stablecoin is backed by physical gold rather than fiat reserves. The initial issuance consisted of 50 million tokens backed by 376 kilograms of audited gold, roughly $50 million in value. Plans call for scaling reserves to $500 million and eventually $2 billion, making USDKG one of the first commodity-backed sovereign stablecoins in the world.
Pakistan, Malaysia, and the Broader Push
In April 2025, Pakistan appointed CZ as a strategic advisor to its Pakistan Crypto Council, which was formed by the Ministry of Finance to regulate the sector and protect investors. CZ now works with the Finance Division, the State Bank, and the Securities Commission on crypto policy, infrastructure, and education.
The opportunity is significant. Pakistan has more than 100 million unbanked citizens and processes billions of dollars in remittances each year, much of it through costly traditional channels. Stablecoins could dramatically lower those costs while giving a young, digitally native population access to modern financial tools.
Malaysia has also entered early-stage discussions with CZ around asset tokenization, though no stablecoin launch has been announced. Beyond publicly named countries, CZ has referenced around a dozen government conversations, many centered on tokenizing natural resources and future revenue streams. Nations such as Bhutan and Kazakhstan have reportedly begun incorporating BNB into their digital reserves alongside BTC and ETH.
How This Fits the Global Trend
CZ’s government advisory work aligns with a broader shift toward stablecoins worldwide. In the United States, the GENIUS Act has helped create a more favorable regulatory backdrop. Citigroup projects that stablecoin issuance could reach between $1.9 trillion and $4 trillion by 2030, driven largely by cross-border payments and emerging-market demand.
CZ has also suggested that crypto will become the default payment layer for AI agents operating across borders. While speculative, the logic is clear: autonomous systems need programmable, permissionless money, and stablecoins are far better suited to that role than traditional bank rails.
Risks, Skepticism, and the Road Ahead
There are valid concerns. Critics warn about concentration risk when a single ecosystem provides infrastructure for multiple national projects. Regulatory frameworks in many of these countries remain immature. And although CZ received a full presidential pardon from Donald Trump in October 2025 for his earlier guilty plea related to Binance’s AML failures, skeptics still question whether governments are conducting sufficient due diligence.
Even so, the direction is hard to ignore. CZ has transitioned from exchange operator to policy advisor, and governments appear eager to experiment with on-chain national currencies. Whether these initiatives mature into lasting financial infrastructure or fall victim to overpromising will ultimately depend on execution — but the appetite for putting sovereign money on-chain is no longer theoretical.

Stablecoins Won't Be a Dollar Monopoly Anymore — And That Changes Everything
Hey, did you catch CZ's post yesterday? Short but sharp: Binance is pushing beyond USDT and USDC, now backing stablecoins pegged to every national currency. "Every fiat currency belongs on-chain" — sounds like a manifesto.
Here's the twist: while regulators squeeze dollar-pegged stablecoins (especially after the whole Tether saga), countries like Brazil, India, or Turkey are waking up. Why rely on someone else's currency in your own digital backyard? Local stablecoin = payment control, lower conversion fees, and a hedge against external sanctions.
For us traders, it's a double-edged sword. More pairs, smoother on/off ramps — great. But fragmented liquidity? Instead of one deep USDT market, we might get a dozen shallow pools. Wider spreads incoming.
The real kicker? This quietly undermines dollar dominance in crypto — not ideologically, but practically. When the Turkish lira or Brazilian real becomes as frictionless on-chain as the dollar is today, the power map redraws itself.
So here's the question:
Are you ready to trade in rubles, yuan, or pesos — if it means faster execution and lower fees?

#RiskAssetsMarketShock
Date: February 6–7, 2026

Topic: Global risk asset selloff and rebound attempts.
Markets are currently facing one of the most intense risk-off episodes in months, with crypto, tech stocks, precious metals, and other high-beta assets crashing and then attempting a rebound — rattling investors around the world. 🎢📊.
🔥 Headlines That Matter.
📉 Crypto Plunge & Tech Selloff 💥!
Bitcoin slid sharply this week — price briefly tested key supports near $60,000 before bouncing back above $70,000 on Feb. 6. This rebound was the largest one-day gain in months, but sentiment remains fragile. 📈😬

At the same time, Bitcoin’s correction has dragged broader digital assets downward, wiping out trillions in market value over recent months as leveraged positions and weak risk appetite dominate trading. 📉💸

📊 Broader Risk Assets in Red 🛑

Crypto’s turmoil is reverberating into traditional markets too. Bitcoin’s collapse has weighed on tech stocks, contributing to declines in major indexes like the Nasdaq. 📉👀

U.S. officials also indicated there will be no bailout for Bitcoin, reinforcing market fears about prolonged risk-off sentiment. 🚫💰.
🤔 Why Is This Happening? 📌
1️⃣ Risk-Off Sentiment Rising
Investors are dumping high-volatility assets like crypto and tech stocks in favor of safer alternatives such as government bonds and cash equivalents — a classic risk-off move triggered by macro uncertainty and liquidity concerns. 📉🛡️ .
2️⃣ Macro & Geopolitical Slowdowns
Global economic fear, tariff tensions, slower growth indicators, and geopolitical stress have made traders nervous, fueling selling pressure across markets. 🌍⚠️ .
3️⃣ Market Correlations Tighten
Once high-beta assets are becoming more correlated with broader financial markets — meaning crypto movements are now more linked with stocks, bonds, and commodities than in past cycles. 📊🔗
📉 Quick Breakdown: Assets Under Pressure
💎 Crypto.
Bitcoin (BTC): Fell over 10%, tested $60K support, then rebounded above $70K. 🚀📉

Broad crypto cap: Over $2 trillion wiped out since late 2025. 📉🔥 .
🧠 Stocks & Tech.
Tech sector pulled down by fear, with major indices feeling the broader selloff. 📉📊

🪙 Precious Metals & Commodities.
Shockwaves even hit gold and silver earlier — precious metals plunged unexpectedly, adding to market volatility. 💰⚡
💡 What This Means for BinanceSquare Traders 🚀
📌 High Volatility = High Opportunity
Periods of risk-off aren’t just bad news — they often precede major swings in price when liquidity returns. 📈💥

📌 Manage Risk First
With rapid moves in both directions, traders should think about position sizing, stop loss levels, and diversification for safety. 🧠💼

📌 Watch Correlations Closely
Crypto is no longer operating in isolation — it’s increasingly moving with traditional markets. Understanding this link can help you time entries better. 🔗📊

📌 Short-Term Fear vs Long-Term Trends
Market rebounds like Bitcoin’s one-day bounce can signal temporary relief, but traders must watch macro signals for real direction changes. ⏳🔥
📌 Bottom Line 💬
The current risk assets market shock has shaken investor confidence globally — hitting crypto, equities, and even precious metals. But sharp rebounds and volatility are typical characteristics of market corrections, not necessarily long-term trend changes. Traders who stay informed and disciplined may find strategic entry points and hedging opportunities.
