Binance co-CEO Yi He said Bitcoin surpassing gold is only a matter of time during a Hong Kong AMA at a BNB Chain event.

Yi He Backs Bitcoin Over Gold
Yi He said she agrees that Bitcoin will replace and surpass gold. She did not give a timeline, but she said the shift is “only a matter of time.” Her comments came during an open AMA at a BNB Chain event in Hong Kong.
She linked her view to the limits of physical gold. She said gold is hard to move across borders and can create practical risks. She also shared that a gold coin once given to her was stolen near customs during a layover.
Yi He said the internet connects people worldwide, and finance needs a similar global system. She described Bitcoin as one of the best candidates for that role. Her remarks placed Bitcoin in the wider debate over global financial access.
Binance Sets Tenfold User Growth Goal
Yi He said Binance began in 2017 with a broader plan than trading. She said the company wanted to build products for payments, trading, wealth management, and other needs. Binance now offers spot trading, futures, payments, and other services.
She said Binance wants to become a global financial infrastructure, not only a trading platform. She added that Binance has set a new internal goal this year. The company wants to grow its user base tenfold.
Yi He said future users may use Binance for daily payments and routine wealth management. She said trading would remain one service among many. Her comments showed Binance’s push to build wider financial tools across markets.
AI, Web3, Investors, and Project Value
Yi He said AI and blockchain are not in pure competition. She said capital may move between sectors in the short term, but the technologies follow different paths. She said both may connect in various ways over time. On investing, Yi He said ordinary investors should avoid chasing trends. She advised young beginners to focus on top-tier assets and more stable choices.
Small positions, such as 1% to 5%, may be used for high-risk assets, according to Yi He. Investors should also build independent judgment and manage risk. She warned that many crypto projects may fail. Market participants should not assume Binance will support every project on the BNB Chain. Yi He added that project value should be judged by real users, business activity, and revenue.
She also said teams should show whether they are willing to use revenue to support tokens and communities. She said projects without users or token value may not deserve attention. She also discussed women’s growth and leadership. Yi He said courage, cognition, execution, and ambition are important for success. She said people should become strong individuals first and understand their own direction.
