In 2026, many other teams (e.g., Aztec, Maiden, Canton) building private smart contract chains using zero-knowledge proofs will go live, validating the market's need for private stablecoins, payments, and DeFi, leading to a massive movement.
"Starting next year [2026], there's going to be many teams doing the exact same thing [supporting private smart contracts using zero knowledge proofs]... they will go live and this will start to validate a lot of the hypotheses and thesis that we have around private stable coins and private payments, private DeFi, but I think this is going to be a massive movement that comes in this coming year."
