I would say roughly 60,000 of those BTC millionaires actually will want privacy to avoid capital gains. You're looking at only 600 million to a few billion that need to be privatized - that's a tiny market.
Crypto itself is only 2.5 trillion and that is only about an AI and a half company, whereas AI - has been around since the 60s but only got hot since 2023.
The money is in AI and not crypto anymore.
Crypto has roughly 742 million holders worldwide.
Only 135,694 of them hold at least $1M in crypto.
That is around 0.018% of all holders, roughly 1 in 5,500.
92,272 are Bitcoin millionaires.
Only 290 people are estimated to hold more than $100M in crypto, and just 23 are estimated to be crypto billionaires.
Only 9 of those are attributed to Bitcoin.
Those 23 billionaires are not 23 publicly identified people.
Only 5 individuals have publicly known or on-chain verifiable crypto holdings above $1B. The estimated billionaire range is actually 17 to 34.
At the same time, the entire crypto market is worth around $2.62T, with Bitcoin accounting for roughly $1.56T.
Millions enter crypto chasing financial freedom.
The data shows how microscopic the top actually is.
(The figures are based on the Henley & Partners Crypto Wealth Report 2026, using public data, on-chain analysis and statistical modelling, with data measured as of August 31, 2026.)
@GordonGekko Probably true.
I think solana:BBKPiLM9KjdJW7oQSKt99RVWcZdhF6sEHRKnwqeBGHST has real potential, if they're ever interested in an ETH bridge, I hope they ask me.
@cz_binance Yah.
Exit.
Bears never make money, ever. But we are about to hit a bond crisis in 12 weeks.
Sell. Sell to your Mom, sell to your Dad. Run for the exit.
Fiducaro is an on-chain protocol, at under 4kb it lives on a chain that is indestructible - which means as a money bridge - it is both; safe - and secure, even in the event of nuclear war.
zcash:native thesis is very simple. A lot of non crypto people have been desperate to make 'another Bitcoin'
They want to do this because they missed 'the first bitcoin'
Now the cabal are going to shove Zcash down our throats as 'privacy bitcoin' because it has simlar properties:
- PoW
- 21 million coins
- Halving every 4 years
This whole thing is because a lot of big crypto people were late to Bitcoin so now they want to re-run the same playbook.
This is kinda lame and bearish and also massively bullish at the same time.
Everyone who chickened out in the bear and sold their bitcoin bags are now desperately trying to jump on the zcash bandwagon, not realising they’re exit liquidity already. They’re going to be screwed twice this year 🤷🏼♂️
@GhostofMapl The truly pathetic bending over backwards for AML standards, these guys will turn everyone and everyone over, this is not a privacy token.
