‘Prominent’ Person To Moderate The Debate

Schiff confirmed on X that the debate is happening and that they are looking for a moderator.

Schiff asked, "Who do you think is best suited for the job?" before launching an X poll that had well-known figures, including Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and Russell Brand as choices.

As of this writing, Musk was leading with 40% of the votes, followed by Rogan at 39.5%. The poll will remain open for another 12 hours from the time of writing.

Schiff said that many “prominent” people have already offered to moderate the debate.

This debate comes after CZ dismissed Schiff’s upcoming tokenized gold product as a “trust-me-bro” project, arguing that such projects rely on custodial trust rather than blockchain transparency.

In response, Schiff publicly challenged the Binance co-founder to a debate comparing Bitcoin and tokenized gold. CZ accepted the challenge, saying he was “in the mood” for it.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $111,345.20, up 1.86% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Tether Gold XAUT/USD, a stablecoin backed by physical gold, traded down 1.16% at $4,069.75 at last check.
