🚨 BARRY SILBERT: ZCASH COULD REACH $8,000

Digital Currency Group founder and Grayscale Chairman Barry Silbert has reportedly outlined an extremely bullish long-term case for $ZEC.

Speaking during an event at YZi Labs in Bhutan, Silbert suggested that Zcash could eventually reach roughly 10% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization — implying a ZEC price around $8,000.

His thesis centers on Zcash combining Bitcoin-like monetary properties with significantly stronger privacy capabilities.

Silbert also took a shot at memecoins, describing them as essentially gambling — and reportedly joked that if you're going to speculate, “the best choice is to buy ZEC.”

An $8,000 ZEC would represent an entirely different valuation regime for Zcash.

The bigger question:
Can privacy become valuable enough for Zcash to capture 10% of Bitcoin’s market cap? 🛡️

Silbert’s comments represent his personal view, not an official Grayscale price target or financial advice.

⚡ ZCASH INFRASTRUCTURE IS GETTING SIMPLER

The Zcash Foundation has revealed an important new capability for Zebra, its independent Rust-based Zcash node implementation.

🔗 Zebra can now serve light wallets directly — without requiring a separate lightwalletd server in between.

Until now, light wallets typically relied on an additional infrastructure layer to communicate efficiently with the Zcash network.

Removing that dependency could mean:

⚡ Simpler Zcash infrastructure
🛠 Fewer components for operators to maintain
🔗 More direct interaction between wallets and Zebra nodes
🌐 A cleaner foundation for future wallet infrastructure

The development comes as part of the Foundation's latest engineering work following the activation of NU6.3 “Ironwood” on mainnet.

At the same time, Zebra 6.3.0 has been released as a recommended security update, resolving four security advisories related to block synchronization and peer scoring.

Zcash development isn't slowing down after Ironwood.

The infrastructure underneath private money continues to evolve.
