CZ Forecasts Bitcoin Superseding Gold in Importance
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) will become more important than gold in the future. At the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference in Hong Kong on Aug. 27, Zhao stated, 'I definitely think Bitcoin will become more important than gold.' He called Bitcoin 'a much better asset than gold,' implying a shift towards cryptocurrencies is inevitable.
Zhao emphasized the importance of countries building crypto reserve assets, as many still do not hold them. He noted that having a system in place to value and hold gold will require time to adapt to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, he believes this change will inevitably occur.
