DCG Founder: BTC validates trillion-dollar demand, privacy coins like Zcash will benefit from "first-mover advantage"

Barry Silbert, the founder of Grayscale's parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG), stated on the X platform that the market has yet to realize the global demand for decentralized digital value storage tools like Bitcoin, which could be as high as $2 trillion. At that time, the industry generally believed that Bitcoin itself was sufficiently private and could serve as a relatively private global value storage and transfer tool. However, as market awareness increases, the demand for privacy is being more clearly identified, and therefore privacy coins like Zcash will benefit from the "first-mover advantage."
