2026 Bitcoin Asia: CZ on Crypto Diversification: Make Bitcoin Bigger, Not Smaller
At the 2026 Bitcoin Asia conference, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao told Bitcoin Asia that the crypto industry is not a zero-sum competition between chains; without an ecosystem built around Bitcoin, Bitcoin would be smaller. He also refused to name the dominant narrative for the next bull run, saying that his own track record shows he failed to see the two major items of the previous cycle.
CZ’s non-zero-sum case: other blockchains make Bitcoin bigger
“I think if this industry only had Bitcoin, its development would actually be much slower,” Zhao said. “Other blockchains don’t undermine Bitcoin; in fact, having Ethereum, BNB Chain, and other blockchains helps Bitcoin grow. Without other blockchains, Bitcoin would be smaller. What’s good for Bitcoin is also good for other blockchains. So our industry isn’t a zero-sum game.”
His division of labor is very clear. By market cap, Bitcoin is the largest and also the most decentralized cryptocurrency, and it will very likely maintain the status of a reserve currency for a long time. Other blockchains can offer more innovation because it’s easier to try new things on them—and the outcome Zhao favors is that, in the future, Bitcoin will end up absorbing that innovation in return.
