CZ: Bitcoin's future will be more significant than gold, and the transition of major countries will take time

BlockBeats News, August 27th, Binance founder CZ stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference:

「I think Bitcoin will definitely become more important than gold. Yes, I think today we have to understand that it takes many years for a superpower to make changes. Today they already have a valuation system for gold, a mechanism for holding gold, a whole set of mechanisms in place. For them to switch to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, it will take some time, but this will definitely happen. Bitcoin itself is a much better asset than gold.

I think there is a very small possibility that something better than Bitcoin will replace it, such as another digital currency growing faster than Bitcoin and surpassing Bitcoin before it surpasses gold. Based on everything we see today, the probability of this scenario is quite small. I think Bitcoin will soon surpass gold. Right now, there is only about a 10x difference between them, so who knows, maybe the next bull run will happen.」
