Richard Teng talks to CNN about MGX Investment into Binance but not the name of stablecoin

Yet even in his most recent interview with CNN, Richard Teng still did not disclose the stablecoin that was used in MGX investment into Binance, while he did talk about what this means for the future of AI and crypto.

In a new series, entitled Intelligent Future which focuses on how technology is revolutionizing our world, CNN’s Becky Anderson sat down with Binance’s CEO, Richard Teng.

He noted that crypto is the future. It is a technology that is traceable, trustless, and decentralized. It allows you to build financial infrastructure, any infrastructure, tokenization, supply chains and so many other uses cases.

He adds that in the current financial structure, it takes two days to send money at high costs, crypto and stablecoins resolve this.

When asked about MGX investment into Binance with $2 billion. Teng stated, ” Abu Dhabi and UAE are always at the forefront of thinking and development of the future world. If you look at MGX it is AI, datacenter investment advance technology power house, so we are glad that this is our first institutional investment, This is the first strategic minority investment into Binance, the largest in the crypto industry and the largest paid in stablecoins.”

He says it also shows the future role is one of convergence between traditional finance, blockchain, crypto, AI, so he believes it will be very interesting.

As for the final question on how important that the USA is now getting onboard the crypto program. Teng says, that this is very important because the USA is the largest capital markets in the world. It accounts for over 15% of global capital markets. So when they say I am going to go long on crypto, the rest of governments and capital markets cannot chose to ignore that.”

Once regulators around the world come into play, they will benchmark themselves according to what the USA has notes Teng.

As for the next five years, Teng believes, children will grow up in the blockchain and AI world. Fees paid for financial transactions will go down substantially with settlement periods shorter. There will be more choices for investments, and use cases

Eric Trump reveals the stablecoin behind UAE’s $2 billion Binance investment

Eric Trump reveals the stablecoin behind UAE’s $2 billion Binance investment

Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, during his participation at Token 2049 demystified the stablecoin behind the deal that was made between UAE sovereign wealth fund MGX and Binance crypto exchange. The $2 billion investment by MGX into Binance was announced earlier this year, yet the stablecoin mentioned for carrying out the deal remained a mystery.

MGX, chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s national security advisor and a brother of UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, backed not only by Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala but also G42 invested 2 percent of its 100 billion investment vehicle into the world leading crypto exchange Binance.

At Token 2049 Dubai, Eric Trump demystified it stating the the World Liberty Financial USD stablecoin (USD1) is the one that will be used for the UAE MGX Binance deal, while noting that the USD1 would integrate with the Tron network.

Trump announced that the WLF USD stablecoin (USD1) was selected as the official stablecoin for MGX’s $2 billion investment in Binance. Zach Witkoff, the Co-founder of World Liberty Financial, teased more future partnerships for the DeFi protocol, adding that the platform aimed to establish USD1 as the preferred stablecoin in the DeFi and CeFi ecosystem, and the WLF team was working really hard on getting integrations into traditional retail point of sale systems.

“We thank MGX and Binance for their trust in us,” said Witkoff, who is the son of the White House envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. “It’s only the beginning.”

Trump disclosed that Abu Dhabi’s MGX will use the USD1 stablecoin to settle a $2 billion investment into Binance in one of crypto’s largest funding deals, marking the investment firm’s first venture into the crypto space.

Trump mentioned that sending funds internationally through SWIFT was slow, costly, and complex, emphasizing that crypto [almost] made banks redundant. An analysis report published by Statrys said the average transaction time on the SWIFT payment network was 20 hours and seven minutes. Additionally, 75% of SWIFT transactions involve one or two intermediary banks, meaning that these average 1 day and 11 hours to settle. However, a USDT or USDC stablecoin transaction on Ethereum settles within two to five minutes.

“USD1 will become one of the most transparent and regulated stablecoins in the world…not only do we want to create a product in our stable point USD, one that can be sent across borders in a very seamless way, but transparency and frankly, consumer safety is paramount…”
