Binance founder Changpeng Zhao believes Bitcoin could reach between $500,000 and $1 million in the current market cycle. In a recent interview, CZ pointed to rising institutional interest, regulatory clarity, and mainstream adoption as key reasons behind his bullish outlook.
He didn’t provide an exact timeline but said the momentum, infrastructure, and investor confidence are strong enough to support a major price rally.
Currently Bitcoin Price trading at $94,289.14 as per Coinpedia Market data.
Institutional Adoption Fueling Growth
According to CZ, U.S.-approved Bitcoin ETFs, involvement from sovereign wealth funds, and growing interest from traditional financial players have put the crypto market in a solid position to grow. He sees these factors as strong indicators that the next leg up could be significant.
Real Value Lies Beyond Meme Coins
While meme coins continue to dominate headlines, CZ warned that most of them will fail. Instead, he sees long-term value in areas like:
-
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
-
Decentralized Science (DeSci)
-
Real-world asset tokenization
These sectors, he believes, are still underappreciated but quietly gaining ground.
CZ’s New Role: From CEO to Mentor
Now stepping away from the CEO role at Binance, CZ described his current focus as more supportive than strategic. He remains a major shareholder and spends his time mentoring new founders, investing in decentralized projects, and building educational platforms.
He still sees centralized exchanges as important for crypto access today, but believes the future lies in decentralized trading infrastructure.
Prison Time Changed His Priorities
Reflecting on his four-month prison sentence, CZ admitted the experience was tough but gave him clarity. It pushed him to prioritize health, family, and long-term purpose over business leadership and public exposure.
