Privacy coins are rallying hard after BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes pumped Zcash on Anthony Pompliano's podcast this week, while billionaire backers including the Winklevoss twins invested real money into the sector.
Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl says Zcash is uniquely positioned to capture market share from Bitcoin by offering transaction privacy — something the flagship cryptocurrency cannot provide.
As Zcash rebounds from earlier turbulence, Foundry Digital—which commands 30.1% of global Bitcoin hashrate—is entering the privacy coin space with a dedicated mining pool. The move signals institutional confidence in privacy-preserving networks.
Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan published a video on Feb. 18 declaring the choice is clear: Zcash or communism. He argued that AI-powered surveillance makes privacy coins essential because any unencrypted data can now be weaponized by states or stalkers.
