The cryptocurrency is still up a full 70% here. On the weekly trend, that puts the privacy coin in third place among the top 100.<\/p>\n<p>The investment firm Multicoin Capital is considered chiefly responsible for the rapid price move. Its co-founder Tushar Jain announced on Tuesday a major investment that Multicoin began in February.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSince February, Multicoin has built a significant position in ZEC. Zcash is a return to the cypherpunk ideals that gave rise to crypto,\u201d Jain wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Multicoin sees privacy coins as an important trend that will continue to grow over the coming years. He says the reason is authorities\u2019 growing appetite for control and surveillance. Jain cites looming wealth taxes in California as an example, but similar developments can be seen internationally as well.<\/p>\n<p>To protect themselves, users will increasingly turn to confidential cryptocurrencies. Multicoin chose Zcash for its investment. He didn\u2019t explain why the choice fell on this specific project.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe asset seizures planned in California are a warning signal. As the political trend toward seizing private wealth continues to grow, individuals and institutions will increasingly look for private assets to hedge themselves.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"x-alias-twitter-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"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\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-b brlbs-cmpnt-cb-x\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/cb-twitter-main.png')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently seeing a placeholder content of <strong>X<\/strong>.

While BTC can\u2019t simply be seized digitally, the transparency of its blockchain allows surveillance and spying.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities then typically put pressure on service providers, who are then effectively used as assistants to confiscate the funds of unwanted individuals. Zcash enables encrypted transactions, addressing this issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBitcoin is censorship-resistant\u2014no one can freeze BTC or stop you from using it. But that doesn\u2019t stop the state from seizing known holdings via wealth taxes,\u201d Jain writes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that truly private assets that are resistant to censorship and confiscation show clear product\u2013market fit and that demand is growing. We believe ZEC is the cleanest way to express this thesis in public markets,\u201d he concludes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reactions from X users are very mixed.
