Binance Founder CZ Tweets Futuristic Bitcoin Prediction

• Binance Founder CZ posted a tweet making a recent Bitcoin prediction.
• The cryptocurrency has fallen to $85,000 for the first time in 2025.

“Murder Over Crypto Deal” is not an ideal headline that the digital assets community usually wakes up to. However, news of a Chinese citizen killed at a luxury hotel in South Korea has sent alarms across the industry. He was believed to be trading crypto at the time of death. Meanwhile, market conditions have not boosted after yesterday’s downfall. 

Leading cryptocurrencies, initiated by Bitcoin have continued to drop, following the significant shift to $88K. In the altcoin sector, Ethereum has fallen to $2.4K, while Solana is nearing the $100 support level. 

Although huge liquidations occurred members began referring to Binance founder CZ’s 2017 tweet. In the tweet, CZ had stated that he was waiting for a headline discussing the current dip, at a time when BTC was priced at $19,000. 

Following this, CZ himself discussed the tweet giving context. Posting a graph from the time, the Binance founder discussed how his thinking was futuristic. After that, he proceeded to post a similar Bitcoin prediction – it crashing from $1 million to $985K. 

This prediction received immense interest from the community, similar to other prominent celebrities’ $1M Bitcoin predictions. CZ is the third crypto personality to make such a prediction, after Jack Dorsey and Eric Trump.

How Has Bitcoin Realized the CZ Prediction? 

Five years ago, in 2020 Bitcoin saw a price breakout that caused it to skyrocket from a yearly low of $4,000 to a high of $19,000. The cryptocurrency set foot into 2021 with an active bullish trend which remained intact on average throughout the year. 

However, with the coming of 2022, a historic market crash occurred resulting from the Terra Luna market crash.  This caused Bitcoin to fall from a high of $61K to $19K. The most recent bull run in 2024, as we recall, saw the digital asset hit the $100K milestone. 

Community members who witnessed this growth expressed bullish opinions about CZ’s recent tweet. The founder also stated that he has remained bullish for the last 12 years and will continue to remain so.
