David Hoffman: ZEC is taking over Bitcoin funding in 2026

Bankless Ventures partner David Hoffman stated that ZEC in 2026 is taking on some Bitcoin funding, similar to ETH in 2021. The market value of ZEC has risen from about $200 million to about $26 billion, which is still relatively small compared to the $1.7 trillion market value of Bitcoin. A small number of Bitcoin holders can form sustained buying orders. In addition, NEAR is undertaking relatively weak smart contract buying in 2026.
