Zach Pandl says financial privacy has been in a decades-long bear market, and AI is the catalyst that ends it: "Our thesis is that's at an inflection point, driven above all by AI. That's the major technological change in our world right now, and it raises real questions about privacy and the surveillance tools coming in the next few years." "The Zcash thesis, the Zama thesis, we're just getting started, and there's potentially significant upside to some of these assets."

CLARITY Act won't pass this year! Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl has said there is a low chance the CLARITY Act will see approval in 2026, per Wu Blockchain. Pandl cites the Senate's calendar and US midterm elections as the main drivers of this belief, the act having seen many delays over recent weeks and months. That said, he suggest a belief that failure to pass the act will immediately impact $BTC and the wider crypto ecosystem.

Edge CEO Paul V Puey breaks down why he supports Zano. Zano’s lead dev Andrey Sabelnikov developed from scratch CryptoNote implementation(which later was used as origin for many projects, most known is Monero). Paul also discusses the added utility of private tokens on Zano. He explains why Bridgeless was such an important piece, allowing assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to be bridged into Zano’s private blockchain. On Zano, not only are the sender, receiver, and amount hidden, but because multiple private assets can exist on the chain. #privacy #zano #privacybydefault #xmr

Ep. 21 | Free The Money | Why Self-Custody Matters! Inside Edge In this episode of Free the Money, I sit down with Paul V Puey, CEO and co-founder of Edge. Paul explains that Edge’s goal is to make self-custody far more user-friendly by removing the friction around seed phrases and making it easy to manage, swap, and use your crypto all in one place. He argues that the real competition is not other wallets, but centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, and that better UX is what can finally pull users away from those platforms and into tools they actually control. Paul and I also get into Zano, which is how we originally connected. He explains that Zano is often dismissed as just a Monero fork, but members of the Zano team actually contributed original code to CryptoNote before Monero launched. What stood out to Paul was not just Zano’s privacy model, but the added utility of private tokens on Zano. He also explains why Bridgeless was such an important piece: it allows assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to be bridged into Zano’s private blockchain. On Zano, not only are the sender, receiver, and amount hidden, but because multiple private assets can exist on the chain, you also may not know which asset is being sent at all. Paul sees that as an additional layer of obfuscation that makes Zano especially compelling as a privacy layer for other assets. Beyond asset privacy, we also talk about network-level privacy and Edge’s integration with Nym. Paul breaks down how metadata leaks happen, why hiding your IP address and network activity matters, and why privacy is not complete if only the asset is private while the network layer remains exposed.
