Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said Asian countries may build strategic Bitcoin reserves quietly rather than announce them publicly.
Wu Blockchain reported in a May 22 post on X that Zhao said Asian countries are more likely to accumulate Bitcoin reserves discreetly because of the region’s cultural tendencies.
He also pushed back on the idea that digital assets would disrupt the traditional financial system. Instead, banks that fail to adopt new technology could be left behind.
Zhao added that the digital-asset market offers greater traceability and transparency than traditional finance. Digital assets are far more transparent and easier to track, he said, and account for a much smaller share of illicit transactions.
Market attention is also turning to how major Asian economies will respond as discussions about strategic Bitcoin reserves expand, particularly in the US. Some sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors are also increasing exposure through spot Bitcoin ETFs and direct purchases.
