CZ’s Bold Prediction: Bitcoin’s $122K ATH Will Soon Look Like Pocket Change

Bitcoin smashes records—again. But CZ says today’s peak is tomorrow’s footnote.

The Bullish Perspective

Binance’s founder isn’t just watching the rally—he’s betting big on its insignificance. "In a few years, this will be just a fraction," he shrugs, as if $122K is chump change. Traders cheer; goldbugs weep.

The Cynic’s Corner

Wall Street analysts, meanwhile, are too busy recalculating their ‘expert’ price targets—after the fact, as usual. Some things never change: crypto moves fast; legacy finance moves… when it’s too late.

Bitcoin skyrocketing to new highs

At press time, Bitcoin has surged nearly 3.5% in the past 24 hours. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap has managed to surpass $120,000 earlier today and is soaring past the threshold at break-neck speed. Based on data from crypto.news, it is currently trading hands at $122,295.

Just after surpassing $120k, BTC soared as much as $2,000 in additional value, breaking through new thresholds that remained previously untouched since its historical debut in 2009. It officially took 16 years for BTC to reach beyond $120,000. So far, the token has stayed mostly on course for a rally, stabilizing around the $122,200 level.

At the moment, BTC is the fifth-largest asset by market cap, falling just behind Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Gold. Its market cap currently sits at $2.43 trillion, having surpassed Amazon by a few billions.

Not only that, Bitcoin’s daily trading volume has also enjoyed gains from the ongoing rally. Compared to the previous trading day, BTC’s 24-hour trading volume has gone up by 94.2% as it reaches above $44 billion. This indicates an increase in recent market activity, with most of it coming from centralized exchanges like KCEX, Binance and CoinW.
