Binance founder Changpeng Zhao stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 Conference that Bitcoin will eventually become more important than gold, potentially even achieving this milestone in the next bull market. He believes that major nations have already established a comprehensive valuation, reserve, and trading system around gold, so the transition to Bitcoin will not happen overnight, but it will inevitably occur. Zhao believes that compared to gold, Bitcoin is a superior and more significant asset. Currently, the overall market size of gold is about 10 times larger than that of Bitcoin, but Zhao believes that the likelihood of another digital asset surpassing gold before Bitcoin is very low. According to his assessment, Bitcoin surpassing gold is likely just a matter of time.
