Head of venture holding urges a reevaluation of conventional perspectives on Bitcoin., 2026/02/12 13:17:46
The founder and CEO of the American venture holding Digital Currency Group (DCG), Barry Silbert, stated that the perception of Bitcoin as an anonymous asset has become outdated.
According to the CEO of the investment firm, due to the analytics provided by services like Chainalysis and Elliptic, the Bitcoin network cannot be regarded as private—despite the clear demand for individuals to conduct cryptocurrency transactions without government oversight. This demand presents new opportunities for private coins.

“In the next few years, 5–10% of capital will shift from Bitcoin to cryptocurrencies focused on privacy, such as Zcash. If the US dollar does not collapse and Bitcoin does not increase by 500 times, I believe Zcash could grow by 500 times,” Silbert speculated.
Currently, cryptocurrencies that conceal the sender and receiver of transactions represent an “asymmetric bet,” similar to what was seen at the dawn of Bitcoin, according to the DCG executive. The combination of limited supply, increasing interest in private transactions, and relatively low competition creates unique opportunities for this class of assets in the market, the head of the venture holding believes.
Previously, economist Noelle Acheson remarked that Bitcoin is no longer just a cryptocurrency but a macro asset that large investors increasingly view as a conventional tool for portfolio diversification.
