The CEO of Binance then went on to describe how France, Portugal, Sweden, and Gibraltar have all enacted positive regulations regarding crypto. "So I think that really helps adoption," says Zhao. In addition, Zhao also expressed his enthusiasm for recent innovations, such as the Metaverse and GameFi.
Zhao gave particular praise to the regulatory framework of the French government, saying "In setting up this conference, our team asked permission to put Binance banners on the Palais Brongniart [Historical Paris Stock Exchange]. And the government was totally cool with granting permission, which shows their progressiveness."
