2026-01-06 15:45
Odaily News Arthur Hayes stated that privacy will define the next trade in cryptocurrency, with Zcash becoming the privacy beta within it. His family office, Maelstrom, established a significant Zcash position at low prices in Q3 2025, and Zcash has now become the second-largest liquid asset holding in its portfolio, second only to Bitcoin.
Arthur Hayes believes that as US political motives lean towards aggressive credit expansion, the expanding dollar liquidity will support Bitcoin and privacy assets. Furthermore, Maelstrom is shifting its research and portfolio strategy towards the zero-knowledge proof ecosystem.
