Grayscale Founder: Bullish on ZEC to $8,000, U.S. Stock Market Could Achieve 24/7 Trading Within Five Years

August 26 news, as shared by WTF Academy founder 0xAA, Grayscale founder Barry Silbert stated at the YZi Labs Bhutan event that U.S. stock trading will achieve 24/7 trading within five years, and competitive pressure from Hyperliquid's entry into the U.S. may accelerate this process, which will weaken the appeal of tokenized stocks in the U.S. market, though they remain meaningful in other regions. When discussing Meme coins, Silbert said they are essentially "gambling" and joked that if one must engage in such risky trading, "the best choice is to buy ZEC," noting that Zcash is based on Bitcoin with stronger privacy features, and its market cap could potentially reach one-tenth of Bitcoin's in the long term (approximately $8,000).
