With many crypto fans souring on bitcoin, some are getting behind Zcash, a privacy token that lets users shield transaction details and remain anonymous
Statement on today’s bipartisan Senate committee vote advancing the CLARITY Act:
DCG applauds the Senate Banking Committee for advancing this important legislation and thanks committee leadership and members on both sides of the aisle for their thoughtful engagement throughout the process. We are especially grateful to Senate staff for the tremendous amount of work that went into navigating complex issues and helping move this legislation forward. Today’s vote reflects meaningful bipartisan progress toward establishing clear rules of the road that support responsible innovation, protect consumers, and reinforce America’s leadership in digital assets.

Zcash featured in both Forbes and Wall Street Journal today.
Don’t get zidelined.
Interesting to note that in 2010 Satoshi himself thought something like @Zcash could be "a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin..." zcash:native
For $BTC, many early adopters trace their conviction to a single @WIRED piece in Nov 2011.
Today's WSJ article on @Zcash $ZEC feels like one of those moments.
Grayscale Zcash Trust (Ticker: $ZCSH) is the only pure-play and publicly traded @Zcash $ZEC fund in the world.

Zcash is an idea whose time has come $ZEC
Crypto’s earliest believers are rotating into $ZEC. Up ~1,140% in a year. SEC probe closed. @Grayscale ETF filed. @BarrySilbert founder of @DCGco says it “feels like bitcoin circa 2013.”
We agree. Bullish on Zcash. 🛡️

even wall street journal is talking about zcash $ZEC
they’re catching up
zcash is on the wall street journal today
probably nothing
$ZEC holders are some of the absolute earliest crypto OGs. From the people I know, many of them are small BTC whales😂. It’s hard enough to shake ZEC out of their diamond hands, let alone try to grab liquidity from them...

Two of the themes shaping the next cycle: financial privacy and decentralized intelligence.
We believe $ZEC and $TAO are leading both conversations.
Grayscale provides pure exposure to both through $ZCSH and $GTAO ⬇️

Grayscale Files to Launch the First Spot ETF for a Privacy Coin
Grayscale has filed to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot ETF, which, if approved, would become the world’s first spot ETF tied to a privacy coin. The filing comes after the U.S. SEC reportedly ended its long-running review of privacy coins without taking enforcement action, removing a key regulatory overhang.
Multicoin Capital co-founder Tushar Jain also disclosed that the crypto hedge fund has been building a large ZEC position since February, viewing it as a macro hedge.

More than half of Zcash appear to be in "long term storage."
- In the transparent pool 30.4% of coins have not moved in more than a year
- 20% have not moved in more than 3 years.
- 30.8% are in the shielded pools
Either way you add these two numbers up (20% + 30.8% or 30.4% + 30.8%) you end up at more than half.
