Barry Silbert, CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), one of the world’s largest digital asset companies, made important statements.

Speaking at the Bitcoin Investor Week conference in New York, Barry Silbert stated that as the cryptocurrency market develops, 5-10% of the capital held in Bitcoin will flow into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Zcash in the next few years.

Silbert stated that while he has absolute faith in Bitcoin and acknowledges it as a fundamental component of a diversified portfolio, he personally prefers investing in innovative projects with the potential for 100 or 1000 times returns.

At this point, the renowned CEO, highlighting privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, emphasized that these cryptocurrencies also offer a good investment opportunity, similar to Bitcoin’s early days.

Silbert also drew attention to the altcoin Zcash (ZEC), stating that ZEC has the potential to increase in value 100x, 500x, or even 1000x.

However, he added that he thought such a rise was unlikely for Bitcoin.

Finally, Silbert stated that it is unlikely for Bitcoin to increase in value 500 times unless the US dollar completely collapses, but reiterated that he sees such high potential in altcoins like ZEC and TAO.

Silbert also stated that while he doesn’t believe quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin, “Zcash is a great hedging tool.”

In this context, while DCG has been a significant supporter of Zcash for years, Silbert stated that he “feels more comfortable talking about financial privacy” since Paul Atkins took over as SEC chairman, adding, “My top priority right now is privacy.”

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
