Bybit CEO : Bitcoin Is Still Some Way From Becoming Mature “Digital Gold” On April 15, 2026, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou @benbybit said in a Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph interview at Paris Blockchain Week that Bitcoin is still some way from becoming mature “digital gold.” He said its recent volatility remains too high for traditional financial institutions to treat it as a reliable store of value. Meanwhile, Zhou said stablecoins are better suited for everyday payments, without changing Bitcoin’s long-term role as digital gold.
