Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said in October 2025 that Bitcoin would surpass gold, but did not provide a timeline. This week, after Bitcoin rose 27% in two weeks, he stated that Bitcoin will surpass gold's market cap in the next bull run, adding that the $1 million target will be achieved earlier than 2025.
CZ previously remarked in November 2022, when Bitcoin was near $16,000, that it was not dead, and predicted in 2023 that a bull market would occur in 2025; his 2026 supercycle call later did not materialize. Armstrong said this month that it is highly likely Bitcoin will reach $100,000 by the end of this year. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily News — Six months have passed since the US and Israel launched their first round of military strikes against Iran, and the war's impact continues to reverberate globally, plunging America's large Iranian-American community into deep divisions. Some anti-government figures welcomed the US-Israeli military action, hoping it would drive regime change in Iran; others, however, fear civilian casualties and regional instability, and oppose any form of external military intervention. Arezo Rashidian, an activist who has long supported Iran's former crown prince Reza Pahlavi, said many who once backed military action now feel disappointed, as "the hoped-for regime change never materialized." She noted that as hostilities have subsided, Iran's domestic security controls are being tightened once again, and citizens have become more cautious about discussing politics or participating in protests. Meanwhile, anti-war advocates argue that some Iranian-Americans who supported military intervention held unrealistic expectations about the war's outcome and underestimated the lessons of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. Rather than bridging political divides among the Iranian diaspora, the war has further deepened mistrust between communities of different generations and political stances. As the US continues to intensify economic pressure on Iran, and Tehran warns of potential further countermeasures, the divisions within the overseas Iranian community over the war's next steps and Iran's future continue to widen.
Odaily News - New York state officials have warned that AI-generated content and fake crypto projects are making investment scams more deceptive. Investment fraud losses exceeded $8 billion in 2025, up 38% from 2024, with 144,041 consumers reporting losses and a median loss of $10,560 per incident.
AI can be used to clone voices, fabricate videos, impersonate financial professionals, and create social media advertisements. New York Attorney General Letitia James has warned that scammers lure investors through celebrity deepfake endorsements, fraudulent cryptocurrencies, pump-and-dump schemes, and fake trading platforms.
Some fraudulent platforms display fabricated account balances, returns, and trading records, allowing victims to make small withdrawals to build trust before demanding additional deposits or fees. New York state officials advise consumers to verify the identities of promoters, companies, and investment projects, and to confirm where their funds are going.
Data from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shows that reported losses from cybercrime in 2025 totaled $20.877 billion, with losses from cryptocurrency-related complaints reaching $11.37 billion. Common scam signs include promises of high returns, unsolicited investment opportunities, high-pressure sales tactics, and projects lacking clear documentation. (Bitcoin.com News)
