Grayscale Research's analysis of the @Google Quantum AI paper suggests breakthroughs may come in sudden leaps, not gradual steps. That means preparation can’t be delayed. The good news: • Post-quantum cryptography already exists • Some chains like $SOL and $XRP Ledger are experimenting • The path forward is technically clear Read the full Stack article from @LowBeta and subscribe here: grayscale.com/the-stack/its-…

What happens to financial privacy in an AI-native world? Zcash offers one answer: optional privacy, with selective disclosure when needed. Privacy isn’t a feature. It’s infrastructure. Read the $ZEC research report from Grayscale Research: research.grayscale.com/repor…

Real quick macro views: *Economy doing fine, possibly accelerating *AI investment thesis holding up (still not obvious there is overinvestment) *Warsh Fed unlikely to be super hawkish (recent comments on productivity more important than old comments on QE) Good luck!

Bitcoin trading more like growth than gold ... ... but we still think it's a long-term store of value To position for crypto recovery, focus on stablecoins, tokenization, and the "three p's" (privacy, perps, prediction markets) $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $LINK, $ZEC, $HYPE

Bitcoin call and put options data points to subdued sentiment—but that’s not the full story. Despite near-term caution, we see a positive outlook for crypto over the intermediate and long term, supported by structural adoption and market evolution. research.grayscale.com/marke…

What does @chainlink have in common with @nvidia? They have evolved from products into standards through network effects. When people hear “network effects,” they often think of social networks or marketplaces, where value increases as more users join. In the case of NVIDIA and Chainlink, the dynamic is subtler but more powerful. Each has built a technology platform around which an ecosystem of developers, tools, integrations, and institutional practices has formed. As more organizations build products and workflows on NVIDIA’s hardware and software stack, it becomes easier and safer for others to do the same. Expertise accumulates, tooling improves, and operational risk declines. Over time, choosing NVIDIA stopped being a bet on superior specifications and became the only decision for teams that needed reliability at scale. NVIDIA did not just supply GPUs; it became the standard foundation for AI development. In many ways, Chainlink is similar. As more data providers, applications, and financial institutions integrate with the network, its reliability and security improve. That reliability and security, in turn, attract the largest DeFi protocols and traditional finance institutions that are adopting onchain infrastructure. Integration with Chainlink reduces coordination and trust costs, making it the global standard for serious applications rather than merely a competitive option. The platform wins because it minimizes risk, aligns incentives across a broad ecosystem, and answers a critical question for decision-makers: What do the best teams in onchain finance already rely on? Chainlink.

Maybe it will be Warsh for Fed Chair after all. Not surprisingly the knee jerk reaction in markets is hawkish: rates up, dollar up, risky asset down. polymarket.com/event/who-wil…

Great bounce upwards from $SUI yesterday. I think that this one will be outperforming many assets, as people tend to go back to the ones that have been performing over the past few years. Higher timeframe support, lowest valuation for $SUI in nearly 18 months. An ultimate opportunity to be stacking some more into this one. Their Grayscale Trust started trading and the ecosystem is expanding, even though the bad market circumstances. I wouldn't assume these price levels are going to stay for long.

Zcash gives you the freedom to move as you choose, without censorship or loss of security. You could trade freedom for an overheated stock market, debased fiat, or token that can be frozen and tracked. But why would you? How do you measure wealth? ZEC is not a trade.
