CZ Speaks Again: Bitcoin in 2026 May Open an Unprecedented Super Cycle, Traditional Four-Year Bull-and-Bear Patterns May Be Completely Rewritten.
In an interview with CNBC at the Davos Forum, Binance founder CZ shared his views on the future trend of Bitcoin. He admitted: "I basically don't trade now; I only hold Bitcoin and BNB for the long term. In the early years, I also tried short-term trading, but the results were disastrous. Later, I realized that I am more suited for technology and product development rather than day trading."
CZ stated that the short-term price of Bitcoin is almost impossible to predict accurately, but the trend is relatively easier to judge over a longer period. "If we extend the time frame to a year, I can't say that every day in 2026 will see a rise, but I strongly feel that Bitcoin is likely to enter a whole new super cycle in 2026."
For the past decade, Bitcoin has been thought to follow a four-year bull-and-bear cycle: a major bull market follows each halving, followed by a long correction. However, CZ believes that the market environment has fundamentally changed this year.
"The United States' attitude toward the crypto industry has clearly shifted to support, with ETF listings, institutional funds flooding in, and multiple countries around the world starting to establish clearer regulatory frameworks. These factors combined are likely to allow Bitcoin to follow a path completely different from the past."
He further pointed out: "This year, we may see Bitcoin break through the traditional four-year cycle limit for the first time, entering a more lasting and stronger upward phase."
