ChainCatcher Сообщение, федеральный судья округа Коннектикут в США восстановил обычные правовые обвинения инвесторов против основателя Digital Currency Group Барри Силберта, DCG и других ответчиков в судебном разбирательстве Genesis Yield, одновременно разрешив продолжение федеральных обвинений, связанных с законом о ценных бумагах в этом деле. Это решение изменило ранее принятое решение суда в феврале этого года.Истцы ранее утверждали, что суд имеет право рассматривать их требования по законам штата в соответствии с Законом о справедливых коллективных исках. Судья Стефан Андерхилл согласился с этой точкой зрения и повторно рассмотрел соответствующие требования по законам штата. Дело касается неудачного кредитного проекта Genesis Yield. Этот проект позволял пользователям вносить криптоактивы и получать проценты. Инвесторы обвиняют Силберта, DCG и других ответчиков в том, что они, зная о проблемах с финансовым состоянием компании и контролем рисков, ввели клиентов в заблуждение, когда Genesis приостановил вывод средств и подал заявление о банкротстве в начале 2023 года.Тем не менее, не все обвинения по законам штата были восстановлены. Суд отклонил четыре требования, связанные с защитой прав потребителей в четырех штатах, и приостановил еще три соответствующих требования. В целом, это решение вновь сделало споры о мошеннической ответственности против DCG и Силберта центральной темой дела.

Barry Silbert, the founder of Grayscale's parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG), stated on the X platform that the market has yet to realize the global demand for decentralized digital value storage tools like Bitcoin, which could be as high as $2 trillion. At that time, the industry generally believed that Bitcoin itself was sufficiently private and could serve as a relatively private global value storage and transfer tool. However, as market awareness increases, the demand for privacy is being more clearly identified, and therefore privacy coins like Zcash will benefit from the "first-mover advantage."

According to The Block, Barry Silbert, founder and CEO of the American blockchain investment group Digital Currency Group (DCG), stated that in the coming years, 5% - 10% of Bitcoin funds will flow into privacy cryptocurrencies represented by Zcash.Silbert mentioned at the New York Bitcoin Investors Roundtable that while he is optimistic about Bitcoin as a core part of a diversified portfolio, he prefers to invest in transformative projects that have the potential for 100 to 1000 times returns. He believes that projects like Zcash and Bittenser could achieve 500 times growth. Silbert pointed out that the narrative of Bitcoin being seen as "anonymous cash" is no longer valid in the era of blockchain analytics companies like Chainalysis and Elliptic, and he is skeptical about Bitcoin's ability to achieve any privacy features. Notably, Grayscale, a subsidiary of DCG, offers a Zcash trust fund and is seeking to convert it into an ETF.

Digital Currency Group (DCG) founder and CEO Barry Silbert stated that as the market's demand for financial privacy rises, it is expected that 5% to 10% of Bitcoin funds will flow into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies represented by Zcash in the coming years.Silbert pointed out at the Bitcoin Investor Week event in New York that financial privacy is not only a fundamental right but could also become the next direction in the crypto industry with asymmetric return potential. He believes that Bitcoin remains a core component of asset allocation, but under the current market size, privacy projects may have greater growth potential. He also mentioned that with the development of on-chain analysis tools like Chainalysis and Elliptic, the narrative of Bitcoin as "anonymous cash" is no longer valid, while the market still has a demand for using digital currencies with privacy protection. Silbert's current portfolio has also correspondingly increased its allocation to privacy and related emerging sectors.

In response to the decline in the cryptocurrency market, DCG founder and CEO Barry Silbert stated, "This is a blessing from the cryptocurrency gods. Clearing out leverage and junk tokens.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Digital Currency Group (DCG) CEO Barry Silber stated during his guest appearance on Raoul Pal's podcast "Journey Man" that he could have achieved higher investment returns if he had simply held onto the Bitcoin he purchased around 2012 when he invested in early crypto projects.He claimed to have discovered Bitcoin in 2011, buying it at a price of $7-8 each. After the price of Bitcoin rose, Silber began looking for early crypto companies to invest in. Silber said, "I made a lot of investments with Bitcoin at that time; you might think that if you invested in Coinbase, you would make a fortune. But if I had just held onto Bitcoin, I would actually have made more than doing those investments."
