While the crypto community debates ETFs and regulation, DCG founder Barry Silbert shook the information space with his statement at Bitcoin Investor Week. His thesis: anonymous coins are preparing to absorb 10% of Bitcoin's capitalization.

💎 Key insights from Silbert:

The billionaire is confident that Zcash ($ZEC ) can grow by 500 times. At the current price, this means a fantastic target of over $115,000.

Thanks to the development of companies like Chainalysis, $BTC has become 'transparent'. Silbert believes that the demand for true privacy will push capital into specialized protocols.

In his opinion, BTC remains the base, but true 'Life-changing money' is now hidden in ZEC.

📊 Market status on February 12, 2026:

Price: ZEC is steadily holding at $230.49.

Whale support: A $1 million donation from the Winklevoss brothers confirms that institutional players continue to accumulate ZEC, despite structural changes in the ECC development team at the beginning of the year.

🎓 Silbert suggests considering Zcash like Bitcoin in 2012. It's a high-risk bet where you either lose everything or gain 50,000% profit.

Since, in 2026, privacy has become a luxury. The zk-SNARKs technology that Zcash is based on is becoming increasingly relevant against the backdrop of total surveillance.

While regulators scare with delistings, 'smart money' (Silbert, Winklevoss) is pouring millions into the development of anonymous infrastructure.

Thus, Barry Silbert bets that history will repeat itself. Just as Bitcoin was once considered marginal, today anonymous coins are preparing for their 'golden age'.
