Bitcoin, that digital pariah of the financial world, has decided to rise yet again, climbing for the third consecutive day, as traders, ever the optimists, dream of trade deals between the U.S. and China and a magical reduction in Federal Reserve interest rates. How quaint.
- Changpeng Zhao (CZ) envisions Bitcoin’s market cap overtaking that of gold. Sure, why not?
- Gold price has surged to over $4,600 and analysts are ready to bet on more gains. Just another shiny rock, really.
- Bitcoin, in its infinite wisdom, needs to reach a cool $1.5 million to give gold’s $30 trillion market cap a run for its money. A minor detail, really.
Bitcoin (BTC) reached the lofty heights of $111,000 for the first time since October 16. It now sits 7.25% above its yearly low. And yet, it still finds itself in the comforting arms of a correction, down about 12% from its all-time high. Who knew virtual gold could be so volatile?
CZ’s Bold Prediction: Bitcoin’s Market Cap Will Surpass Gold
Changpeng Zhao, the oracle of Binance, prophesied that Bitcoin’s market cap will eventually eclipse gold’s. Of course, the task at hand is monumental, considering the chasm that currently separates the two. But hey, who’s counting?
Prediction: Bitcoin will flip gold.
I don’t know exactly when. Might take some time, but it will happen. Save the tweet.

According to Companies by Market Cap, gold is the world’s undisputed heavyweight, currently valued at a staggering $30 trillion. The precious metal has seen its value climb this year, as gold prices surged from $2,600 in January to $4,345 today. Some predict it could hit $5,000. But really, it’s just another shiny object for the masses.
Gold’s rise is mainly driven by central banks (looking at you, China) stacking the shiny stuff in response to Trumpian policies and America’s ever-expanding $37 trillion public debt. Ah, the sweet smell of economic responsibility.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin, the rebellious upstart, has risen 18% this year, pushing its market cap beyond the $2.2 trillion mark. Remember, it was the fastest-growing asset to cross the $1 trillion threshold since it first appeared in 2009. Such is the power of hype.
Bitcoin’s market cap could surpass gold’s if it continues to outperform by the wide margins we’ve seen in the past. Sure, gold is doing better this year, but Bitcoin holds the long-term crown. Case in point: gold has risen 128% over the past five years, while Bitcoin has skyrocketed by over 750%. No contest.
Bitcoin’s Market Cap Flips Gold: What Does It Mean for the Price?
If we assume gold’s market cap remains static at $30 trillion and Bitcoin’s supply stays at 19.93 million, Bitcoin would need to rise to approximately $1.5 million per coin. Currently sitting at $110,700, this means a nifty gain of 1,254%. Easy, right?
It’s not that far-fetched. After all, Bitcoin has posted gains over 1.25 million percent in the past decade. So, a mere 1,254% doesn’t seem so scary. Heck, it’s practically a stroll in the park compared to its meteoric past.
In the long run, Bitcoin has several bullish catalysts that could push it toward that $1.5 million mark. Most notably, the supply-demand dynamic. With strong ETF inflows and some analysts predicting central bank purchases by 2030, demand is on the up and up. At the same time, Bitcoin’s exchange balances are falling, tightening its circulating supply. All in all, a recipe for a moonshot. 🚀
