Peng Zhao (CZ) said at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference that he clarified the implementation sequence of AI and crypto.

He believes the combination will first enter through stablecoins. Once stablecoins are widely accepted, $BTC and other on-chain assets can then be smoothly integrated. The most crucial line is this: the priority of AI agent trading is far higher than AI payments. Right now, top AI companies care more about making agents smarter—helping users find the best trades—rather than solving payments first. In trading scenarios, AI processes information up to ten times faster. Users want AI to place orders directly rather than just providing analysis, so AI agent trading will come before payments.

His stance toward $BTC remains firm. The existence of public chains like Ethereum and BNB Chain will not weaken $BTC ; instead, they help it grow. This industry isn’t a zero-sum game. He calls $BTC the most decentralized reserve asset, and says its future importance will surpass gold. The market cap gap with gold is currently about ten times; $BTC could reach the million-dollar range in less than 25 years.

This talk introduced no new projects and made no promises—it was entirely his judgment about where the industry is headed.
