Known as a Grand Master of Memory and founder of the United Sigma Intelligence Association, YoungHoon Kim is celebrated in some circles as the “world’s highest IQ man.” This South Korean intellectual set a record IQ score of 276 in 2024.

Kim recently predicted that Bitcoin could grow 100-fold over the next decade and become the world’s ultimate reserve asset.

His vision extended further, suggesting that American Bitcoin, a company associated with US President Donald Trump and Eric Trump, would become the world’s largest company by market capitalization. Now, Kim has taken his conviction to the extreme, allegedly converting all his assets to Bitcoin.

His remarks, heavily infused with religious themes, reflect a broader worldview in which he connects Bitcoin’s destiny to economics and divine purpose.

Describing himself as the second Satoshi Nakamoto, Kim pledged to strengthen America and expand global churches in Jesus Christ’s name.

This blend of financial vision, personal faith, and intellectual branding has sparked fascination and skepticism alike.

For supporters, Kim embodies the archetype of a visionary willing to back his beliefs with action. For critics, however, his declarations mark a concerning turn into ideology-driven investment.

Backlash and Questions Over Mental Health and IQ Claims

Kim’s announcement of moving his entire wealth into Bitcoin, reportedly at six-figure prices, has drawn sharp criticism. Some voices in the crypto community question both the wisdom of the decision and the validity of his self-presentation.

Skepticism over Kim’s claims is not new. While his IQ score was certified by record-keeping institutions, many academics dispute the legitimacy of such measurements against outside traditional psychometric standards.

His blending personal religious beliefs with economic forecasts has further polarized audiences, particularly in the often skeptical and data-driven crypto space.

At the same time, Kim’s willingness to fully commit to Bitcoin resonates with radical conviction, an otherwise familiar theme in the crypto industry.

A recent US Crypto News publication indicates that El Salvador is a case in point, with BTC maxi, Max Keiser, calling the South American country Bitcoin’s “Statue of Liberty.

Figures from Michael Saylor to early Bitcoin maximalists have also risked fortunes on the thesis that Bitcoin represents a once-in-a-civilization monetary breakthrough.

While Kim’s story’s fate remains in doubt, his actions spotlight the thin line between bold foresight and reckless risk-taking.

By tying his identity as the “world’s smartest man” to his faith in Bitcoin’s success, Kim has turned his personal narrative into one of the most unusual and controversial crypto stories.

YZi accelerates on BNB Chain

The post YZi accelerates on BNB Chain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to on-chain data from DeFiLlama, the circulating supply of USDe has surpassed 13 billion dollars. Market analysts note that this growth fits into a broader picture of stablecoin expansion, with increasing demand for digital dollars and synthetic products, a trend verified in major on-chain dashboards and industry reports. The Picture: Record of USDe and Strategic Push by YZi USDe consolidates a growth record in the crypto dollar segment, with a circulating supply that has exceeded 13 billion, as reported by recently verified market sources. In parallel, YZi Labs — the family office of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Yi He — intensifies collaboration with Ethena Labs for the next phase of scalability, with a distinctly cross‑chain horizon. The roadmap outlines three main directions: expansion on BNB Chain, launch of a fiat‑backed stablecoin (USDtb), and development of a settlement layer for institutional flows. The goal is to combine liquidity, compliance, and cross‑chain use cases, while maintaining a focus on transparency and risk management. That said, execution remains the decisive point. What’s Coming: Products and Integrations USDtb (in development): stablecoin pegged to fiat currencies, designed for fiat–crypto flows and for more straightforward accounting needs compared to the synthetic dollar USDe. Converge: level of institutional settlement developed in collaboration with Securitize. The design aims for interoperability with tokenized assets; Securitize, which has collaborated with BlackRock on the tokenized fund BUIDL, intends to strengthen the bridge between crypto and traditional finance. BNB Chain: extension of the USDe ecosystem to expand accessibility and integration into the DeFi world, with potential synergies on liquidity and on‑ramp. USDe in brief: how the “synthetic dollar” works USDe combines reserves in crypto assets (e.g., bitcoin, ether, solana) with short positions on perpetual futures to maintain the peg close to 1 USD. The mechanism, designed to neutralize the underlying volatility,…
