Newly-Pardoned Changpeng Zhao and Peter Schiff Agree to Bitcoin vs. Gold Debate

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Peter Schiff are supposedly taking their long-running argument to the stage.

The Binance founder has agreed to debate the outspoken economist and gold advocate after Schiff publicly challenged him to a “Bitcoin versus tokenized gold” discussion. 

The exchange follows Schiff’s announcement that he’s launching his own blockchain-based gold product — and CZ’s sharp critique that such tokens are “not truly on-chain.”

“As much as you voice against Bitcoin, you are always professional and nonpersonal,” CZ told Schiff on X today. “I appreciate that. Can have a debate about it.”

Schiff replied later: “Absolutely. Several people have already reached out to me offering to moderate. Do you have a preference?”

All this debate talk arrives hours after President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to Changpeng Zhao. President Trump said CZ “wasn’t guilty” and was “persecuted by the Biden administration.”

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) October 23, 2025 Schiff’s tokenized gold pitch vs. bitcoin

Schiff recently said that he’s building a tokenized gold platform and neobank, with a blockchain token called Tgold at its core. 

The product will reportedly allow users to purchase physical gold through a mobile app, store it in secure vaults, and transfer or redeem it digitally. 

Schiff describes it as “real money for the digital age” — physical gold represented on-chain.

All this comes amid a multiyear gold rally, with prices hitting a record $4,380 per ounce earlier this month before settling near $4,128, at time of writing. 

Schiff argues that tokenized gold could provide a stable, asset-backed alternative to Bitcoin’s volatility, serving as both a medium of exchange and store of value.

CZ pushes back: “It’s a ‘Trust Me Bro’ Token”

CZ wasted no time in firing back.

On X, he called tokenized gold “a ‘trust-me-bro’ token,” arguing that such assets rely on third-party custodians — precisely the kind of centralized trust structures Bitcoin was designed to eliminate.

“Tokenizing gold is NOT ‘on-chain’ gold,” CZ wrote. “It’s tokenizing that you trust some third party will give you gold at some later date — maybe decades later, during a war, after management changes, etc.”

His comments echo a common view among crypto purists: that true digital ownership requires self-custody and verifiable scarcity — traits Bitcoin has, but gold tokens do not.

As of writing, there is not an agreed-upon or specific time for Schiff and CZ to debate.
