Bybit CEO Ben Zhou: Tokenization Will Reshape Global Finance Faster Than Expected at Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific FinTech Conference 2026
Summary
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou told the Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific FinTech Conference 2026 that tokenization, stablecoins, and AI are accelerating the integration of traditional capital markets with blockchain infrastructure. He argued tokenized infrastructure will enable continuous, cross-border asset movement and make real-world assets more transferable and efficient for settlement, collateral, and treasury use. Bybit is focusing on building regulated, institutional-grade infrastructure — including custody, compliance, fiat connectivity, and tokenized RWAs — to support both institutional and retail participation. Zhou also highlighted the growing role of AI agents in trading and treasury functions while stressing the need for governance, permission controls, and risk management for institutional adoption.
