Tokenization & RWA
Share
Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and operator of the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, is set to host a highly anticipated debate between CZ, Founder of Giggle Academy and Co-Founder of Binance, and renowned economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff. The debate will take place on December 4th during Binance Blockchain Week 2025, running from December 3–4 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.
The debate will explore one of the most critical questions in finance and crypto today: which asset better fulfills the fundamental conditions of money — Bitcoin or tokenized gold? Participants will examine aspects such as medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value, highlighting the ongoing dialogue between traditional and digital assets in global markets.
The debate originated from an exchange on X, where CZ criticized tokenized gold for relying on third-party custodians, labeling it a “trust me bro” token. Peter Schiff responded by challenging CZ to a live debate, which CZ accepted, selecting Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai as the venue to address these differing viewpoints.
