Bitcoin has made a triumphant return above the $100,000 mark, much to the relief of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The asset had dipped below this crucial level on December 19, primarily driven by hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve. However, Bitcoin’s resurgence in recent days is reigniting optimism across the market, and former Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is fueling the fire.
In a recent post on X, Zhao dismissed Bitcoin’s recovery above $100,000 as “boring,” suggesting that he anticipates even higher prices ahead. His words have caught the attention of crypto followers, sparking excitement about the potential for Bitcoin to surpass its current level. Zhao’s cryptic remarks align with his previous optimistic outlook for the digital asset.
100k is boring, right?

On January 3, Zhao hinted at an explosive year ahead, declaring 2025 as a “‘send it’ year,” a phrase often used in the crypto world to express excitement over skyrocketing asset prices. Analysts share this sentiment, with some projecting Bitcoin’s value to reach $200,000 by 2025, driven by increasing institutional adoption and growing interest from nation-states.
While Zhao has not explicitly predicted Bitcoin’s price for 2025, his past comments suggest lofty expectations. At the Bitcoin MENA 2024 conference, he implied that Bitcoin could one day hit $850,000 per coin, surpassing gold’s market capitalization in the process. As of now, Bitcoin’s market cap stands at around $2 trillion, compared to gold’s $17.8 trillion.
This bullish outlook reflects a broader trend in the cryptocurrency market, where Bitcoin is regaining momentum amid renewed interest from institutional investors. With prominent figures like Zhao driving the narrative, Bitcoin’s journey above $100,000 could be just the beginning of an exciting new phase in its price evolution.
