In a fireside chat during the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), CEO of Binance, expressed that it is important for crypto regulators to have a deep understanding of the industry to facilitate proper crypto regulations. The fireside chat was moderated by Deng Chao, the CEO of Hashkey Capital.

According to CZ, “There is a very natural tendency to borrow traditional financial industry regulations to apply to crypto. Crypto is different from banks and traditional financial industries” He went on to explain that knowing the answers to simple questions like how to classify different assets is important in deciding on regulations for the industry, as there are many types of crypto assets. Some assets may look like securities, others like commodities, or utility tokens, some may even have a combination of those characteristics.
