Barry Silbert, CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), one of the world’s largest digital asset companies, made important statements.

Speaking at the Bitcoin Investor Week conference in New York, Barry Silbert stated that as the cryptocurrency market develops, 5-10% of the capital held in Bitcoin will flow into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Zcash in the next few years.

Silbert stated that while he has absolute faith in Bitcoin and acknowledges it as a fundamental component of a diversified portfolio, he personally prefers investing in innovative projects with the potential for 100 or 1000 times returns.

At this point, the renowned CEO, highlighting privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, emphasized that these cryptocurrencies also offer a good investment opportunity, similar to Bitcoin’s early days.

Silbert also drew attention to the altcoin Zcash (ZEC), stating that ZEC has the potential to increase in value 100x, 500x, or even 1000x.

However, he added that he thought such a rise was unlikely for Bitcoin.

Finally, Silbert stated that it is unlikely for Bitcoin to increase in value 500 times unless the US dollar completely collapses, but reiterated that he sees such high potential in altcoins like ZEC and TAO.

Silbert also stated that while he doesn’t believe quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin, “Zcash is a great hedging tool.”

In this context, while DCG has been a significant supporter of Zcash for years, Silbert stated that he “feels more comfortable talking about financial privacy” since Paul Atkins took over as SEC chairman, adding, “My top priority right now is privacy.”

Avalanche and Hyperliquid Lead Crypto Rally Post-Fed Rate Cut

The post Avalanche and Hyperliquid Lead Crypto Rally Post-Fed Rate Cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Crypto markets have posted broad gains following the Federal Reserve’s quarter-point rate cut. Hyperliquid’s USDH stablecoin has been “attracting liquidity across the board from many institutions,” according to an analyst. The momentum now hinges on project-specific catalysts, with altcoins more exposed to volatility than Bitcoin, experts told Decrypt. Avalanche (AVAX) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) led the altcoin rally on Thursday as digital assets responded positively to the Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut and project-specific developments. AVAX rocketed 10.1% to $32.59, while HYPE jumped 7.2% to $58.43 in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data.  Other major altcoins followed suit, with Dogecoin (DOGE) advancing 5.4% to $0.27, Solana (SOL) climbing 4.5% to $244 and Cardano (ADA) rising 4.3% to $0.90. (ADA) rising 4.3% to $0.90.  Bitcoin (BTC) maintained its position above $117,000 with a modest 0.3% gain, while Ethereum (ETH) posted a 2.1% increase to $4,588. The rally follows the Fed’s widely anticipated quarter-point rate cut, which lowered the federal funds rate to a range of between 4.25% to 4.50%.  Bitcoin and other major digital assets largely traded flat in the immediate aftermath, as investors had already priced in the highly anticipated Fed call. “While the Fed’s rate cut buoyed broader risk sentiment, AVAX’s outperformance seems driven by Avalanche’s announcement of a $1 billion Digital Asset Treasury plan,” Min Jung, senior analyst at quantitative trading firm Presto, told Decrypt. The Avalanche Foundation is in advanced talks to raise $1 billion via a Nasdaq-listed firm backed by Hivemind and a Dragonfly-sponsored SPAC, with proceeds earmarked for discounted AVAX buybacks, according to the Financial Times. Bitwise also filed paperwork on Monday for an AVAX ETF, utilizing Coinbase to custody the digital assets, which adds to the token’s institutional adoption prospects. Jung noted the rally could “sustain in the near term…
