The cryptocurrency market was shaken by Toncoin's bombshell move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on July 6, 2025. #Toncoin ($TON ), the local token of the Telegram-based blockchain network #TON , announced that it offers investors a "golden visa" advantage as part of an agreement allegedly signed with the UAE. However, this development, as well as the statement from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (#CZBİNANCE ), created a big wave in the market.
🏛️ What is the Toncoin - UAE Golden Visa Agreement?
According to the statement made by the Toncoin Foundation:
Investors who stake $100,000 worth of TON tokens for at least 3 years will be eligible for the "Golden Visa" issued by the UAE.
It was also stated that a one-time transaction fee of $35,000 must be paid.
Following this statement, there were sharp increases in the TON price. However, the reactions and lack of official sources following this development brought confusion.
📣 CZ's Statement on BNB: "If It's Real, We'll Adapt It Too!"
Binance founder CZ did not remain indifferent to the Toncoin news. CZ, who has already had strong relations with the UAE for a long time, used the following statements on his personal social media account:
"If the Toncoin news is real, we will definitely try to include BNB in this system."
This message is of great importance not only for the Binance ecosystem, but also for the entire crypto market. Because CZ's individual relations with the UAE and its impact on the region are a known fact. However, after this post, CZ also raised important question marks about different aspects of the issue.
⚠️ CZ: “There is Uncertainty, No Clarity Right Now”
CZ underlined some contradictory points regarding Toncoin’s golden visa announcement in the continuation of his statement:
There is no information on official UAE websites such as “Get a golden visa by staking Ton”.
Regulatory institutions such as VARA, ADGM, SCA state that staking is subject to a license and claim that TON Foundation does not have such a license.
With the expression “$35,000 + $100,000 staking”, it is likely to appear as just a reference tool, not an official guarantee.
Although there is a claim of RAK DAO (Ras Al Khaimah Digital Assets Authority) approval, there is no verifiable official source on this subject.
CZ stated that caution should be exercised at this point and called on the crypto community:
“If you have a reliable source, you can write in the comments.”
🇦🇪 What is the UAE Golden Visa System?
Binance CEO CZ shared his own experience of how the system works, explaining that he himself received a golden visa through a UAE minister years ago. The investment and talent categories currently accepted for the UAE Golden Visa are as follows:
Real estate investment of at least AED 2 million (approximately $540,000)
Business people who pay company tax of over AED 250,000 per year
UAE-approved entrepreneurs
Highly qualified professionals with a monthly salary of AED 30,000 and above
Artists, scientists, gifted individuals
Retirees, students, etc.
Crypto staking is not officially defined among these categories, which raises doubts about the legitimacy of Toncoin's offer.
🟡 CZ's Vision: Strategic Adaptation for BNB
If this system is legally valid and applicable, CZ's statement that "we will do the same for BNB" could mean a new global use case for Binance. Integrating BNB into golden visa programs:
Gives the token a state-level utility-based demand.
Can transform Binance into a lifestyle infrastructure provider, not just an exchange.
Can extend BNB's use case beyond "investment vehicle" and directly link it to citizenship-residence programs.
📌 Conclusion: Reality or Manipulation?
Toncoin's UAE Golden Visa move, although not yet confirmed by official authorities, has managed to resonate in the crypto world. CZ's cautious yet visionary approach is striking:
If true, implementing a similar system for BNB could potentially be the next big thing.
If it is manipulation, stronger regulations may be needed against attempts to inflate the price with such news.
📢 Important note for crypto investors:
It is important to always refer to official sources for such visa – investment news, and expect announcements to be based on government portals, not just social media posts.
