Bitcoin is roaring back to life, surging past $94,000 after weeks of sideways movement. But according to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao
In a recent interview with Rug Radio’s Farokh Sarmad, CZ made a bold prediction: the total crypto market cap could skyrocket to $5 trillion by the end of 2025, with Bitcoin potentially reaching between $500,000 and $1 million. His confidence stems from the rising wave of institutional adoption, particularly through spot Bitcoin ETFs.
As of now, Bitcoin’s dominance sits at 65%, signaling cautious optimism among investors. But CZ believes the real opportunity lies beyond BTC — in emerging altcoin sectors poised for exponential growth.
Here’s a breakdown of the four key crypto trends CZ is most bullish on:
CZ emphasized that Bitcoin’s current rally is largely driven by U.S.-based institutional inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. He believes this is only the first phase of institutional involvement, with much more capital yet to enter the market. As demand increases and supply tightens, Bitcoin’s price could see a parabolic rise.
With the U.S. government, particularly under Trump’s renewed leadership, taking a pro-AI stance, CZ believes AI and blockchain integration is inevitable. He suggests that AI will increasingly rely on blockchain for security, transparency, and decentralization. While he didn’t name specific tokens, popular AI-focused projects like Fetch.ai (FET) and SingularityNET (AGIX) are seen as top contenders in this emerging space.
Another under-the-radar sector CZ is bullish on is DeSci (Decentralized Science). He envisions a world where smart contracts fund research and pharma innovation through milestone-based crypto payments, empowering global, small-scale labs. While early in its development, DeSci offers real-world utility and long-term impact beyond trading.
Tokenizing real-world assets like stocks, real estate, and bonds is becoming a major theme in crypto. With players like BlackRock entering the space, CZ sees massive potential in platforms that facilitate this transition. Projects like Ondo Finance and Polymesh are leading the charge, bridging traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems.
From Bitcoin ETFs to biotech and tokenized real estate, CZ’s vision for the next crypto bull run is grounded in real-world adoption and institutional money. As Bitcoin crosses new all-time highs, the smart money may soon shift toward the next wave of innovation in altcoins.CZ’s message is loud and clear: The crypto revolution isn’t slowing down — it’s only just getting started.
CZ predicts Bitcoin could reach $500K to $1M by 2025, fueled by institutional ETF inflows and limited supply.
DeSci is decentralized science, using blockchain to fund research via smart contracts and global collaboration.
Tokenizing assets like stocks and real estate bridges traditional finance and crypto, unlocking massive market potential, says CZ.
