Binance Research: Gen Z Investors are Starting Younger and Showing Greater Financial Discipline

New commentary finds that Gen Z accounts for 44% of Binance Direct Stocks and bStocks users, with more than 90% of TradFi users in every generation based in emerging markets

MUMBAI, India, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance Research, the market research arm of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has recently published a new weekly market commentary titled ‘Onboarding the Next Generation‘. The report examines how Gen Z is becoming the dominant cohort on Binance’s TradFi products, and what their behavior reveals about the next wave of global equity access from emerging markets.

The report finds that 30% of Gen Z investors began investing during university or early adulthood, double the 15% rate for Millennials and well above 9% for Gen X. This earlier entry is paired with stronger preparation, as 77% of Gen Z investors report having received formal financial education, the highest of any generation, compared with 69% of Millennials and 58% of Gen X.

Binance Research identifies Gen Z as the largest single cohort across Binance’s TradFi suite, accounting for 44% of Direct Stocks and bStocks users and roughly 45% of TradFi-Perps users. Among users who have adopted all three products, 48% are Gen Z. Gen Z’s share of newly onboarded TradFi users has risen steadily from 41% in January to 47% in July, suggesting momentum rather than saturation.

The commentary further highlights that more than 90% of TradFi users in every generation are based in emerging markets, with Gen Z at 95%. Within that base, 13% of Binance Direct Stocks users are Gen Z investors from emerging markets holding less than US$2,000 in equity assets, a segment the report identifies as ‘Next Gen Users’. For many of these users, Binance is not one brokerage option among several but their first access to US equities, illustrating the financial-inclusion thesis in practice.

Moreover, the research suggests that Gen Z’s behavior contradicts the assumption of speculative trading. Leveraged ETFs account for just 5.9% of Gen Z trading volume, the lowest share of any generation, and the cohort trades less frequently at 2.6 as compared to other cohorts at 3.0 trades per day. First trades cluster in established names such as NVIDIA at 20% and Micron at 8%, with a blue-chip long tail including Tesla, Apple, and the Nasdaq-100 ETF. Despite holding the lowest investment capital per user, Gen Z has contributed approximately US$80B of TradFi volume year-to-date, compounding at 24% month-over-month.

In the report, Binance Research concludes: “Across every metric examined, Gen Z, the youngest generation of investors, and users based in emerging markets, are onboarding to Binance as the first point of access to global markets without a domestic brokerage relationship. It is the central feature of the trend, and a strong indicator of where the user base is heading.”

The full report, ‘Onboarding the Next Generation‘, is now available on Binance Research.

QC Ware Demonstration of Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workflow Using Promethium and IBM Quantum

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QC Ware (“QC Ware” or the “Company”) today announced a technology demonstration of a hybrid quantum-classical computational chemistry workflow using Promethium^® and IBM Quantum hardware.

The demonstration calculated electrostatic interaction energy for nitric oxide reductase by combining GPU-accelerated molecular modeling and classical chemistry methods with quantum measurements performed on IBM’s 156-qubit Heron superconducting quantum processor. The work highlights how Promethium can be used alongside quantum hardware in scientifically relevant workflows. This was a technology demonstration and is not currently a fully integrated Promethium product capability.

“This demonstration shows how classical and quantum computing can be combined to address meaningful computational chemistry problems,” said Dr. Kin-Joe Sham, Co-Founder and COO at QC Ware. “We believe Promethium delivers high-performance computational chemistry today while providing a foundation for exploring future hybrid workflows.”

Nitric oxide reductase is a chemically complex metalloenzyme system, making it a relevant benchmark for evaluating advanced computational methods. The workflow focused on electrostatic interaction energy, an important molecular property in drug discovery, catalysis, and materials science.

The demonstration builds on QC Ware’s previously published research in hybrid quantum-classical chemistry and reflects the Company’s broader strategy of delivering practical, GPU-accelerated quantum chemistry today while advancing the use of artificial intelligence and quantum computing to address increasingly challenging scientific problems.

Available today, Promethium’s GPU-native architecture enables researchers to apply quantum chemistry across larger molecular systems and more compounds than has traditionally been practical. For selected workloads, Promethium runs demanding calculations up to 20× faster than the main conventional platforms, helping researchers generate molecular-level insights in hours instead of weeks and accelerating decision-making across drug discovery, catalysis, and materials science.

About QC Ware

QC Ware is a quantum computing software company. QC Ware develops applications that unlock the power of quantum computing for drug discovery, material design and other industry verticals. QC Ware’s Promethium platform provides GPU-accelerated quantum chemistry for molecular modeling and drug discovery, helping customers make better discovery decisions today while exploring the hybrid quantum-classical workflows of tomorrow. QC Ware also organizes and hosts Q2B quantum computing conferences in Japan, Europe and the United States.

Woxsen University Marks National Handloom Day with Handloom Workshop, in Association with Weaver Service Centre, Hyderabad

On National Handloom Day, the School of Arts and Design, Woxsen University, swapped lecture slides for loom demonstrations, hosted by the Weaver Service Centre, Hyderabad

HYDERABAD, India, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What if the person teaching a design class wasn’t a professor, but a master weaver? That was the premise Woxsen University’s School of Arts and Design established this National Handloom Day, in collaboration with the Weaver Service Centre (WSC), Hyderabad, for a session built around India’s handloom traditions and the artisans who keep them alive.

The celebration featured an exhibition led by Dr. S. Arun Kumar, Director of WSC Hyderabad, and his team. The display covered handloom textiles from across India, traditional weaving techniques, and government schemes that support the handloom sector. Students explored the exhibits closely and spoke directly with weaving experts, gaining a first-hand understanding of India’s textile traditions and sustainable craft practices.

Dr. Kumar also led an interactive session on preserving India’s handloom legacy, supporting artisan communities, and building stronger ties between weavers and the next generation of designers. The session encouraged students to see indigenous textiles not just as heritage, but as a source of contemporary design innovation.

Adity Saxena, Dean, School of Arts and Design, Woxsen University, said, “At Woxsen, we believe that design education must extend beyond classrooms and studios. Learning directly from artisans provides students with authentic insights into traditional knowledge systems, craftsmanship, and sustainable practices. By incorporating artisans’ experiences, feedback, and expertise into our curriculum through workshops and collaborative engagements, we enable students to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world craft traditions. Going forward, we are committed to inviting more artisans and master craftspeople to share their invaluable knowledge with our students.”

It is a small but deliberate bet: that the future of Indian design will not be built in isolation from the people who have been weaving its past for centuries. Through initiatives like this, Woxsen University’s School of Arts and Design is positioning itself as a bridge between the studio and the loom; training future generation of designers who don’t just study craft but know the artisans behind it.
