Binance Could Introduce Golden Visa Option for BNB Investors Inspired by TON

Changpeng Zhao, the former head of Binance, has hinted at the possibility of a new initiative that would allow BNB token holders to obtain long-term residency in the United Arab Emirates through a token-staking model.

The concept mirrors a recent program introduced by the TON Foundation in partnership with private entities in the UAE. Their offer enables token holders to qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa by staking $100,000 worth of TON for three years, along with a one-time $35,000 processing fee.

The visa extends to close family members and allows for living, working, and studying in the country without the need for a sponsor.

While the traditional path to securing a UAE Golden Visa usually requires a real estate investment of at least half a million dollars or significant business or professional contributions, this crypto-based option presents a more accessible route — though it’s not officially sanctioned by the government.

Zhao commented that he’s still unsure of the legitimacy of the program, stating, “I’d expect something like this to involve direct government cooperation or a public announcement. It could be valid, but I haven’t confirmed it yet.”

If Binance decides to pursue a similar path, it could open new doors for crypto investors seeking residency benefits — though caution and due diligence remain essential.
