Inner Chain: Issue 27

🚀 Editor's Note

Welcome to the 27th edition of Inner Chain Crypto your weekly no-hype, straight-talking guide to what’s really happening in Crypto and Web 3, from a passionate squad of crypto enthusiasts from Brooklyn to Accra.

Did you buy the dip? The crypto market has experienced a sharp correction over the past month, with total market capitalization dropping nearly 25%. In the last 20 hours $140 Billion was just added to the crypto market. Yes the dip was eaten up!

It’s been 17 years since the Bitcoin whitepaper was released about peer-to-peer transactions and privacy, BTC now sits at $103k.

After months of regulatory crackdowns, exchange oversight, and KYC mandates, investors are remembering what crypto was built for - financial freedom without exposure.

Leading that reminder is Zcash, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency built directly from Bitcoin’s codebase continues its reign as the privacy sector dominates crypto. Experts think that Zcash could eventually rival Bitcoin. Built from Bitcoin’s code, Zcash mirrors its 21 million supply and halving model but adds zero knowledge powered privacy.

Because let’s be honest: Crypto without privacy is not crypto.

The Future is On-Chain and Private

💡 SPOTLIGHT

🔐 Whats Next for Privacy Coins

As crypto matures, the spotlight is shifting back to one of its core principles - privacy. In an era where transparency has become surveillance, privacy coins are reclaiming the original ethos of Bitcoin’s whitepaper: peer-to-peer, permission-less, and private transactions.

The momentum is clearly shifting in favor of privacy-focused assets. As mainstream blockchains become more transparent and regulated, the value proposition of coins that emphasize anonymity and confidentiality is growing. For example, top privacy coins; Zcash (ZEC), Dash and Monero (XMR) saw recent sharp gains.

Privacy protocols are increasingly being considered not just as niche assets but as building blocks for infrastructure - e.g., private layers, selective disclosure, integrations in DeFi

Privacy coins are no longer fringe. With broader scrutiny on public chains, privacy-first assets may become a core piece of conviction portfolios. They offer diversification into a narrative tied to financial sovereignty and censorship resistance.
