One bell. A new chapter for BNB on Wall Street. This week, BNB Standard CEO @odagius rang the @Nasdaq Opening Bell in Times Square alongside @cz_binance, @ellazhang516, @thomasxchen of @BNBCHAIN and $BNC Board of Directors. The world's largest BNB treasury is building in public markets, and this is only the beginning.

After the bell yesterday, $BNC CEO @odagius sat down with @andyyy of @therollupco in NYC to talk about tokenization, the scale of Binance and the institutional era of digital assets. Watch the full conversation 👇 $BNC #BNB# @BNBCHAIN

From the Nasdaq bell to the discussion that followed, one theme stood out: connecting BNB with US institutions and public capital markets. @cz_binance, Core Contributor of BNB Chain, framed the opportunity as a connection between the crypto ecosystem and mainstream finance: “Now we're finally merging the two into what we call traditional financial assets, or people call it mainstream finance.” For tokenized real-world assets, he added: “I believe that's a huge market that requires mainstream finance integration.” @thomasxchen, Chief Business Officer of BNB Chain, highlighted what investors see in BNB: Utility backed by market activity, citing over $6B in tokenized RWAs, $1.6B in tokenized stocks used in trading and lending, and $26B of trading volume in the last quarter. “So it shows that BNB Chain is not just the infrastructure, but providing the utility that traders as well as digital investors look for. The distribution and the market activity are here today on BNB Chain.” @odagius, CEO of @BNBStandard, added that the next task is helping institutional investors understand the BNB ecosystem behind that exposure: “We're bringing that story to Wall Street. No one actually has properly looked at that to understand what the magnitude of that is.” Alongside that effort, founders are building the financial products institutions could engage with. @ellazhang516, Managing Partner of @yzilabs, pointed to portfolio companies already developing structured financial products and AI applications, with regulation informing the investment approach: “And naturally we have to look into the regulations, how it evolves in order to form our investment thesis.” The next chapter is connecting institutional access with the builders and products bringing BNB Chain into everyday finance.

BNB Standard plans to grow its treasury by running its own BNB Chain validator. $BNC CEO @odagius tells @jacksonaltonh why via @RTB_io and how the market is separating long-term treasury companies from short-term ones: "By acting as a validator, you actually get more BNB."

"We're not here just to hold the asset. We're here to build an operating business on BNB Chain." $BNC CEO @odagius shares insight with @TheBlockCo on the company's plans to run its own validator, following yesterday's Nasdaq Opening Bell. #BNB# @BNBCHAIN
