The Crypto Chain for the Next Billion (and Next 100,000 Agents): BNB Chain’s 2026 Plan | Nina Rong

*“What does it take to onboard the next billion users—and the next 100,000 AI agents?”* In this Binance Online 2026 session, Nina Rong (Executive Director of Growth, BNB Chain) lays out BNB Chain’s 2026 growth pillars—stablecoins, RWAs, and agentic finance—and how the ecosystem’s three chains (BSC, opBNB, BNB Greenfield) are being upgraded for sub‑second UX, higher TPS, and agent‑friendly rails. From 40% of global stablecoin transaction counts happening on BNB Chain to rising RWA AUM and 179K on‑chain agents using BNB Chain as a financial layer, Nina details the tech stack (ERC‑6551/4337/6900, BEP‑578, Agent SDK), middleware roadmap, and the builder pipeline (hackathons → residency → go‑to‑market). Then, in live Q&A, she covers how everyday holders benefit from agents, why non‑USD stablecoins and forex payments matter, what’s really stopping the next billion from coming on‑chain, and how faster finality improves liquidity depth and HFT‑grade trading. *In this episode, Nina covers:* ✅ 2026 growth pillars: stablecoins, RWAs, and agentic finance as BNB Chain’s focus ✅ The stack: BSC (EVM DeFi), opBNB (L2 scale), Greenfield (data storage) working in cohesion ✅ Adoption at scale: $138B bridged, 832M+ unique wallets, ~4M daily actives; partners from BlackRock to Franklin Templeton ✅ Stablecoins: ~40% of global stablecoin tx counts on BNB Chain; ~20M monthly users for stablecoin use cases ✅ RWAs: second only to Ethereum—~$4B AUM, ~500 asset types, ~60K holders on BNB Chain ✅ Agentic finance: ~179K live agents, ~60% of on‑chain agents use BNB Chain as the financial layer ✅ Performance upgrades: ~450 ms block time; ~650 ms finality after the latest hard fork; TPS goal 6K → 20K ✅ Agent tech stack: ERC‑6551/4337/6900 compatibility, BEP‑578 (agent NFTs), and the upcoming Agent SDK (jobs, pricing, escrow) ✅ Builder pipeline: hackathons → YZi Labs residency → BD/marketing distribution to 4M DAUs ✅ What’s next: agent SDK launch, forex payments (USD + non‑USD stablecoins), middleware/APIs for institutional‑grade trading, and a new chain to scale TPS/capacity ✅ Q&A: how agents benefit regular holders (gas burn, broader user base), what blocks the next billion (UX and wallet partners), and how faster finality improves liquidity, spreads, and HFT readiness ⏱️ Timestamps: ⏳ 00:00 – Introduction with Nina Rong: Executive Director of Growth, BNB Chain ⏳ 01:13 – What is BNB Chain?
