ChainCatcher News, Arthur Hayes states that privacy will define the next wave of cryptocurrency transactions, with Zcash becoming the privacy beta. Its family office Maelstrom has established a large Zcash position at a low price in Q3 2025, and currently Zcash is the second largest liquid asset holding in its portfolio after Bitcoin.
