Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are betting on privacy protocols gaining major traction as AI continues to grow at an exponential rate.
The year 2025 will go down as the year of digital asset treasury companies. Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Tom Lee’s Bitmine have forged ahead with Bitcoin and Ethereum-based strategies, while a handful of alternative DATs have grabbed headlines.
Zcash (ZEC), the privacy protocol born out of a hard fork of the Bitcoin codebase in 2016, has been one of the big winners in 2025. Prominent industry advocates have been touting the importance of privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, and Zcash has been the outright winner in terms of percentage price gains.
It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the ecosystem welcomed a Zcash DAT, and the Winklevoss twins beat competitors to the mark.
