CZ Says Bitcoin Will Overtake Gold's Market Cap in Next Bull Run

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), former CEO of Binance, said this week that bitcoin will surpass gold's market capitalization during the next bull market and that the $1 million price target will be reached sooner than 25 years. His remarks followed a 27% rise in bitcoin over two weeks. In October 2025, CZ had said bitcoin would beat gold but did not provide a timeline. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong in August 2025 projected bitcoin could hit $1 million by 2030. A year later, after bitcoin dropped about 30%, he lowered the forecast to $300,000–$400,000. Armstrong also said this month there is a good chance bitcoin reaches $100,000 by the end of the year. CZ's past calls include saying in November 2022, with bitcoin near $16,000, that it was not dead, and predicting in 2023 that a bull market would arrive in 2025. His 2026 supercycle call was not realized. The news was reported by Bitcoin.com News.

Five charts point to a potential Bitcoin bull market turn, with the next 18 to 24 months in focus

TechFlowPost published a market analysis based on commentary from ProCap Financial founder and CEO Anthony J. Pompliano, arguing that Bitcoin may be moving out of its bear market after falling more than 50% from its $125,000 all-time high over the past year. The piece lays out five chart-based signals that the author says support a reversal thesis for the next 18 to 24 months. Those signals include a historical alignment between Bitcoin’s mining electricity cost band and the Relative Strength Index, a record-high 90-day correlation with gold, a renewed divergence between Bitcoin and broad money supply M2, a bullish 4-hour chart pattern identified by R89 Capital, and Bloomberg data showing how much of Bitcoin’s annual return comes from a small number of major up days. The article also ties the gold correlation trade to recent comments from Scott Bessent on expanding government fiscal spending, while noting that U.S. national debt has exceeded $40 trillion. Pompliano’s core argument is that recent weakness does not invalidate the longer-term setup, and that investors who miss Bitcoin’s sharp rebound windows may materially hurt their returns.

Yi Lihua: Bitcoin Stuck Below $81K Resistance, Next Hurdle Near $86K

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said Bitcoin has yet to break through resistance around $81,000. He expects a modest pullback in the coming days before prices push higher and clear that zone, with the next key resistance near $86,000. He plans to close his long positions as Bitcoin approaches that level because a larger correction could follow. Still, he believes the bull market has already arrived; even if prices enter a resistance area and turn bearish short-term, he would only exit longs, not build shorts.

CryptoQuant founder says this cycle’s top may be driven by offshore institutional money and ETFs

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju said the top of the current bull market cycle could be driven by institutional capital and exchange-traded funds outside the United States. In a post on Aug. 27, he argued that Bitcoin adoption in the previous phase was led mainly by the U.S., while the next phase may shift toward broader global institutionalization. He pointed to market access limits in South Korea, where a spot Bitcoin ETF has not yet launched, retail investors cannot buy related overseas ETFs, and companies cannot even open exchange accounts to purchase BTC. Ju also said deeper stablecoin liquidity and real-world asset, or RWA, infrastructure are likely to accompany that transition. He added that more institutions may hold BTC as a strategic asset, while countries that have not yet launched ETFs could gradually improve related investment channels. In his view, the cycle top may arrive when a banker at a regional bank in South Korea is recommending a spot Bitcoin ETF to an elderly customer as a savings product.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua says bull market could last until 2028, advises against shorting

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said in a post on X that the market remains in a bull trend and that consolidation at resistance levels, as well as pullbacks after sharp gains, should be seen as normal price action. He said his approach is to close long positions at higher levels and wait for a reasonable pullback before going long again. Yi added that, in his view, the market will remain in a bull trend at least through 2028, and he advised traders to avoid short positions as much as possible. He also said risk assets are entering an investment window and argued that artificial intelligence is still far from bubble territory. Based on that view, he said the current period calls for a focus on two areas: risk assets and AI-related opportunities. The remarks were carried by Odaily in a market analysis newsflash.

JackYi says bull cycle could last through end-2028, rejects opportunistic shorting

JackYi said in a post on X that he remains bullish on the market and views the current consolidation around resistance as a normal part of a bull market. He wrote that pullbacks after strong advances are also normal and argued that no bull market moves up in a straight line. On positioning, JackYi said his approach is to close long positions at higher levels and reopen longs when prices pull back to suitable areas. In his view, repeatedly leaning long during a bull trend is the core strategy. He also laid out a longer-term outlook, saying the market is still in a bull cycle that could continue for the next two years through the end of 2028. He added that risk assets are entering a period of opportunity and that the AI bubble is still far from over. According to JackYi, capturing this cycle in both crypto and AI-related stocks could offer the best growth-oriented investment path. He also said he is not used to shorting, as his past gains largely came from industry growth, and that he would firmly give up opportunistic speculative shorts during this phase of the bull market.

Yi Lihua Says BTC and ETH Could Deliver More Than 3x Returns in This Bull Market

BlockBeats reported on Aug. 24 that Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said the market was rebounding quickly as expected, while bears tried to push back over the weekend. He said traders should not short in a bull market. Yi laid out three core opportunities for this cycle: BTC and ETH could deliver more than 3x returns, with ETH outperforming BTC on the rebound; on-chain finance remains a key demand driver built around stablecoins; and AI plus crypto could see major opportunities as AI products generate demand and revenue while crypto serves as the incentive layer.

JackYi says shorting is ill-advised in a bull market, sees 3x upside for BTC and ETH

Crypto commentator JackYi said in a post on X that recent market action has tracked his earlier expectations and that prices have already rebounded quickly. He said bears had put up some resistance during the weekend trading window, but argued that short positions are not advisable in an ongoing bull-market trend. JackYi laid out three areas he sees as the core opportunities in the current cycle. First, he said Bitcoin and Ethereum could both deliver returns of more than 3x, adding that Ethereum’s rebound could outpace Bitcoin’s. Second, he said onchain finance remains a core driver of demand, with global onchain transactions built on stablecoins set to keep expanding. Third, he pointed to what he described as a major opportunity in the combination of AI and crypto as AI develops at speed, with AI products serving as the source of demand and revenue while crypto functions as the market incentive layer.
