CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

Binance founder CZ told attendees at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference: "Tokenized assets are a net positive for Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry. Those who understand Bitcoin will eventually explore other blockchains, tokens, and related areas; meanwhile, individuals entering the space through stock tokenization will also come to notice Bitcoin. For instance, right now in Hong Kong, Asians seeking to purchase US stocks face major barriers opening a brokerage account. For the small number who can secure US brokerage accounts, trading hours are highly inconvenient—US stock markets typically run from 11 PM to 4 AM daily. Tokenization actually democratizes access to stock markets, allowing people who couldn’t buy US stocks before to do so. They access these via crypto platforms, and once on these platforms, they are likely to gain exposure to Bitcoin that they wouldn’t have had otherwise. Over time, this effect will continue to build. So, what’s good for tokenized stocks is also beneficial for traditional stock markets and Bitcoin. I believe all these developments reinforce each other. The entire ecosystem is not a competitive space where one project goes up against another."

Binance founder CZ said at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference: "I believe Bitcoin will definitely become more important than gold. Yes, we must recognize that major countries need many years to make such a shift. They already have a complete system for valuing and holding gold, so it will take time for them to transition to Bitcoin or crypto assets—but this will absolutely happen. Bitcoin itself is a far better asset than gold."

Seoul Central District Court on August 27 handed down its first-instance ruling in the incident involving Bithumb, South Korea’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, over its mistaken distribution of bitcoin (BTC), ordering relevant users to return approximately 194 million won in proceeds from selling the mistakenly sent BTC. Bithumb had previously made an operational error in an activity reward program, mistakenly inputting BTC instead of won for rewards originally denominated in the local currency, leading to a total of around 620,000 BTC being misdistributed. In March, the exchange filed separate unjust enrichment lawsuits against four users who sold the mis-sent BTC and failed to return the proceeds; other related cases involve amounts of approximately 500 million won, 14.8 million won, and 5 million won. South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) earlier noted that the incident involved BTC with a book value of roughly 61 trillion won. (Digital Asset)

Binance founder CZ appeared at the main venue of the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference, holding a fireside chat with the host, with the session starting approximately 18 minutes behind schedule.

Binance founder CZ stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference: "I don’t think it will take 25 years for Bitcoin to reach $1 million—it will happen much faster. But beyond its price, I believe we need more: greater practical utility. Bitcoin payments need to achieve widespread adoption. I think Bitcoin should become a reserve asset for retirement pension funds. You will see, all these things will come to pass, and more. Yes, within 25 years, I expect all of these to be realized."
