In the context of intensified global data sovereignty competition and the rapid evolution of regulatory frameworks, the privacy encryption sector is undergoing a critical period of value reshaping. As of January 14, 2026, the total market capitalization of the privacy coin sector reached $22.7 billion, with Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) collectively holding 85% of the market share.

The market presents significant divergences around the core issues of privacy: Should privacy be completely untraceable, or should there be optional disclosure? Should the technological path adhere to the purity of cryptography, or adapt to compliance needs? What kind of demand drives the value of the sector? ZEC plummeted 25% to a low of $360 on January 7 due to governance disputes, triggering approximately $100 million in capital flow to XMR, which reached a historical high of $700 on January 14 (a weekly increase of 52.59%), becoming a direct beneficiary of the governance crisis.

Beyond short-term fluctuations, four irreversible consensus points are forming: Optional anonymity is becoming the mainstream standard, privacy demand is a diverse driving force, compliance is the path to scaling, and technological symbiosis adapts to diverse scenarios.

1. Introduction: Re-evaluating Privacy Value Amid Geopolitical Fractures

We are experiencing a reconstruction of the digital realm dominated by geopolitical factors. Data, as a strategic resource of the new era, has become a core target of competition and gamesmanship between nations. The EU's GDPR, China's data export management measures, and the U.S. Cloud Act's long-arm jurisdiction collectively outline an increasingly fragmented and adversarial global data governance landscape. In 2025, the average loss from global data breaches reached $4.4 million, with the U.S. figure soaring to $10.22 million (up 9% year-on-year), and malicious attacks accounting for 51%, with the healthcare sector suffering the highest losses of up to $7.42 million.

In this context, mere crypto assets are insufficient to meet the challenges. Privacy-enhancing technologies that can ensure data sovereignty and achieve secure cross-border circulation are rising from a niche within cryptocurrency to become a key infrastructure supporting national security and commercial competitiveness in the digital age. The privacy coin sector saw an overall increase of 288% in 2025, with ZEC rising 782% for the year and XMR increasing 123%, outperforming the overall crypto market during a general downturn.

This chapter will delve into the profound divergences within the privacy sector regarding definitions, paths, and sources of value under this macro trend, and argue how these divergences collectively point towards a unified and irreversible future: The value of privacy technology is being redefined by geopolitical and compliance demands.

2. Three Core Issues of Market Divergence

The divergences in the privacy sector are not merely a technical route dispute but a deep-seated game around the essence of value, realization paths, and survival logic. These divergences are fully reflected in the market performance of the two benchmark projects, Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC).

2.1 The Essence of Privacy: Completely Untraceable vs. Optional Disclosure

Core Controversy: Must privacy protection be based on complete anonymity? Or should users be allowed to make verifiable disclosures when needed?

Monero represents the technical philosophy of complete anonymity. Through a combination of ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions, XMR achieves complete concealment of the transaction sender, receiver, and amount, with all transactions defaulting to private and untraceable.

Zcash, on the other hand, adopts a design of optional anonymity. By utilizing zk-SNARKs technology, it allows users to choose between transparent transactions or shielded transactions, and implements optional disclosure through a viewing key mechanism. Users can prove transaction information to trusted parties (such as auditing firms or law enforcement) without publicly exposing it.

The Duality of Market Feedback

On one hand, complete anonymity meets the rigid demand for countering censorship. In the first quarter of 2025, approximately 11.4% of global cryptocurrency transactions involved privacy coins, with 29% of crypto users in the Asia-Pacific region regularly using privacy coins, driven by geopolitical turmoil and increased surveillance.

On the other hand, optional anonymity has gained broader compliance acceptance. A total of 97 countries have implemented strict compliance frameworks for privacy coins, with the EU's AMLR set to officially prohibit exchanges from handling anonymous wallets and privacy coins on July 1, 2027. The Dubai Financial Services Authority banned privacy coin trading in DIFC on January 12. In this context, ZEC has 17 trading pairs across 7 mainstream exchanges, while XMR is supported by only 5 exchanges, all of which are perpetual contracts with no spot trading pairs. Grayscale's Zcash Trust manages $151.6 million, providing a compliant entry point for institutional funds into the privacy sector. Although ZEC's shielded pool accounts for only 30%, its growth rate is 167%, indicating that even with options available, the demand for privacy protection continues to grow. This optional design itself is becoming a key bridge connecting the crypto world with the traditional financial system.

2.2 Technological Path: Purity of Ring Signatures vs. Auditability of Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Core Controversy: Should privacy technology pursue the purity of cryptography, or should it balance strong privacy with auditability?

Monero's ring signature technology obfuscates at least 10 false outputs, making the true sender of each transaction blend in with decoys, significantly increasing the difficulty of law enforcement tracking. This design achieves complete anonymity through mathematical and network-level obfuscation without requiring trust in any third party. The computational efficiency of ring signatures allows XMR to maintain stable block production, with transaction fees dynamically adjusted and relatively low. Technically, XMR is advancing the FCMP++ upgrade, and a community-funded optimization competition has improved proof generation library efficiency by 95%, with plans to add optional transparency features.

Zcash's zk-SNARKs technology takes a different path. Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) allow for the proof of a statement's truth without revealing any information beyond the statement itself. In simple terms: If you need to prove that a house is yours, you don't need to take someone to your house; you just need to present something that only that room has. This perfectly aligns with the commercial and regulatory demand for data to be available but not visible. ZEC users can prove they have sufficient funds to complete a transaction and have not engaged in money laundering without exposing transaction history or total assets. However, the proof generation time for ZKP is longer and the computational cost is higher compared to ring signatures, which somewhat limits the adoption rate of fully shielded transactions. The ZEC mainnet has completed the NU6.1 upgrade, with a roadmap that includes the Tachyon scaling solution to enhance scalability.

Divergence in Market Performance

The purity of technology has led to regulatory resistance. XMR was delisted from Binance's spot market in February 2024, and 73 mainstream exchanges have delisted at least one completely anonymous privacy coin. This directly cuts off liquidity with mainstream fiat channels, limiting its value capture ability and capital liquidity.

In contrast, auditability has opened doors to enterprise-level applications. The global ZKP market size is expected to grow from $1.28 billion in 2024 to $7.59 billion in 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 22.1%. Application scenarios have expanded to include financial anti-fraud, private stablecoin payments, healthcare data sharing compliant with HIPAA/GDPR requirements, anonymous voting and identity verification in government systems, and more.

Notably, XMR's FCMP++ upgrade plan includes adding outward viewing key functionality, which essentially aligns it more closely with optional disclosure. Meanwhile, ZEC's Tachyon scaling solution aims to reduce the computational costs of ZKP and enhance the performance of fully shielded transactions. This convergence of technological paths suggests a potential trend towards integration in the future.

2.3 Value Drivers: Privacy Premium and Regulatory Arbitrage vs. Compliance Scaling Path

Core Controversy: What kind of demand drives the value of the privacy sector? Is it legitimate privacy protection needs, or regulatory arbitrage and even illegal use? Can the market continue to expand under regulatory suppression?

Cryptocurrency donations during the Russia-Ukraine war, data compliance challenges in cross-border trade, competition in national digital infrastructure, and the awakening of individuals and institutions to data sovereignty. These factors collectively constitute a long-term rigid demand for privacy protection: Privacy protection has evolved from personal preference to a strategic necessity for nations, enterprises, and individuals. Among them, Monero, due to its completely anonymous nature, has become the ultimate expression of privacy demand, but this demand itself is diverse and complex, being widely used for dark web transactions, as a money laundering tool for criminal activities, or as a tool for regulatory arbitrage.

Thus, it inevitably faces crackdowns from global regulatory compliance: 97 countries have established strict compliance frameworks for privacy coins. The EU's AMLR will prohibit exchanges and custodians from handling anonymous wallets and privacy coins starting July 1, 2027, while the MiCA and AML package of laws requires CASPs to implement KYC, travel rules, and crack down on mixers; the Dubai Financial Services Authority has banned privacy coins in DIFC. The large-scale delisting by exchanges has directly cut off liquidity for completely anonymous coins with mainstream fiat.

Market Pricing Amid Tug-of-War

ZEC has maintained good compliance support due to its optional anonymity design, and Grayscale Trust provides a compliant entry for institutional funds. However, the governance crisis triggered by the collective resignation of the ECC core development team on January 7 due to disagreements with the Bootstrap board over the commercialization of the Zashi wallet raised concerns about project forks, causing the price to plummet 25% to a low of $360 in a single week. Although the original team established CashZ to continue development without issuing new coins, the mainnet is operating normally, but GitHub activity has dropped to its lowest level since November 2021, and social media sentiment has collapsed by 90%, indicating significant short-term downward pressure. XMR's recent strong performance is primarily a direct result of capital outflow due to the ZEC governance crisis and risk-averse rotation within the sector, with its long-term price support still stemming from the structural demand for privacy premiums.

The essence of this game lies in whether the privacy premium and regulatory arbitrage can hedge against the liquidity contraction brought about by global regulation; and whether the technical characteristics of complete anonymity can find a survival space amid the wave of compliance. From the current market performance, XMR will seek survival space in DEX and underground markets due to its technical resilience, always facing the long-term threat of liquidity exhaustion; while ZEC, despite experiencing governance turmoil, retains greater potential for future integration with TradFi due to the compliance-friendly nature of its optional anonymity technology.

2.4 ZEC Governance Controversy: The Boundary Between Short-Term Impact and Long-Term Effects

The ZEC governance crisis on January 7, 2026, provides an excellent case study for understanding the commercialization challenges in the privacy sector.

The entire engineering team of the Electric Coin Company (ECC) collectively resigned due to disagreements with the Bootstrap nonprofit board regarding the commercialization of the Zashi wallet. The team accused board members of deviating from Zcash's original privacy mission and altering employment terms that made effective work impossible, ultimately leading to what they termed "constructive dismissal," including CEO Josh Swihart. The core conflict lies in the ECC team's desire to accelerate product deployment and user growth through the commercialization of the Zashi wallet, while the Bootstrap board insists on a nonprofit structure to maintain decentralized governance. This directly caused the price of $ZEC to plummet from $503 on January 7 to a low of $360 on January 10, a weekly decline of 25%, with a maximum daily drop of over 15%.

However, upon deeper examination, it becomes clear that the disagreement is limited to the operational structure of the Zashi wallet's commercialization and does not involve the development and iteration of the Zcash mainnet protocol. The Zcash Foundation explicitly stated that the network remains decentralized and operates normally, with block production and transaction settlement functioning as usual, and no single organization controls Zcash. The CashZ company established by the original ECC team adopts a startup structure to accelerate innovation and commercialization, promising to continue the development of the Zcash ecosystem without issuing new coins, aiming to expand Zcash to billions of users. On-chain data shows that the size of the shielded pool, which represents user demand for optional anonymity features, continues to grow during the dispute (increasing from 23% to 28-30%), indicating that the core value proposition remains unaffected.

From a long-term perspective, we can conclude that this turmoil should be viewed as a growing pain in the project's commercialization process rather than a failure at the technical or model level. If governance issues are resolved and funding flows are clarified, the narrative of ZEC as insurance against BTC still exists.

3. Unified Consensus Amid Divergence: Four Irreversible Trends

Despite fierce debates in the market regarding the definition of privacy, technological paths, and sources of value, a deeper analysis reveals that four irreversible consensus points are forming, collectively reshaping the foundational value of the privacy sector.

3.1 Consensus One: Optional Anonymity Becomes the Core and Industry Standard of Privacy

From both regulatory tolerance and the feasibility of commercial applications, the narrative of complete anonymity is giving way to controllable anonymity.

First is the unification of regulatory compliance; data regulations in major global jurisdictions do not support complete anonymity but allow for controlled disclosure. The EU's GDPR requires data minimization, while MiCA mandates KYC/AML verification. Although these seem contradictory, ZKP provides a solution by "proving facts without exposing data"; China's "Personal Information Outbound Certification Measures" allows for "data to be available but not visible" in cross-border data circulation; the U.S. GENIUS Act and the pending CLARITY Act both enhance regulatory oversight, indirectly promoting the demand for compliant privacy.

Market choices also present clear signals, as ZEC still holds a 30% market share in privacy coins after experiencing governance turmoil, with its optional anonymity design being key to maintaining its mainstream position. Comparative data is also strikingly evident:

• Exchange Support: ZEC has 17 trading pairs across 7 exchanges, while XMR is supported by only 5 exchanges, all of which are perpetual contracts;
• Institutional Funding Channels: Grayscale Zcash Trust manages $151.6 million (a 228% increase in 2025), providing a compliant entry for institutions, while XMR has no similar products;
• User Adoption Trends: The ZEC shielded pool increased from 11% to 30%, with shielded transaction volume accounting for 70% of total transactions, while XMR recently faced a 51% attack in September 2025.

The fundamental shift is that value is moving from concealment to control: "Verifiable when disclosure is needed, hidden when protection is needed" has become the greatest common divisor balancing innovation and regulation, connecting the crypto world with the traditional world. This shift has given structural advantages to audit-friendly privacy technologies like ZKP.

3.2 Consensus Two: Privacy Demand is a Diverse Driving Force, with Auxiliary Channel Roles Emerging in Capital Rotation

The demand for privacy protection is multi-layered and persistent, encompassing legitimate claims to privacy rights, regulatory arbitrage motives, and the objective existence of gray and black market usage, namely: the value of the privacy sector arises from this combination of diverse demands rather than a single attribution.

The multi-structural nature of this demand primarily stems from the following points:

1. Legitimate Privacy Demand: Protection of personal financial privacy, cross-border payments for businesses, financial anti-fraud, medical data sharing, etc.;
2. Regulatory Arbitrage Demand: Tax planning, cross-border wealth allocation, evading capital controls, DeFi, etc.;
3. Illegal Demand from Gray and Black Markets: Dark web transactions, money laundering, ransomware, etc.;
4. Others: Speculation on supply scarcity, HODL by technology believers, etc.

Additionally, a noteworthy phenomenon is that in this market cycle, privacy coins play a role as a channel for capital entering and exiting the crypto market in specific scenarios. In the context of strengthened capital controls and heightened KYC requirements, some funds choose privacy coins as a transit point for anonymization, meaning funds first enter the ZEC shielded pool for anonymization before exiting to transparent addresses or cross-chain bridges to prevent address tracking. Of course, this currently mainly serves the needs of regulatory arbitrage and gray and black market inflows and outflows, rather than the overall market demand. Mainstream inflow and outflow channels still rely on BTC/ETH spot ETFs, direct exchanges of stablecoins, and compliant fiat channels at exchanges.

Market performance also corroborates this, as the privacy coin sector saw an overall increase of 288% in 2025, a performance that cannot be solely explained by gray and black market demand, nor can it be attributed purely to geopolitical hedging or regulatory arbitrage. A more reasonable explanation is the resonance of diverse privacy demands.

In 2026, privacy will become a key narrative, but the core logic has shifted from "countering state surveillance" to the commercialization and compliance of data sovereignty. Simplistically dividing privacy demand into "justified geopolitical hedging" or "evil criminal tools" fails to explain the complex realities of the market. Privacy technology itself is value-neutral, and its value drive comes from society's multi-layered demand for privacy: ranging from completely legal to gray areas and then to clearly illegal, forming a continuous spectrum.

The market differentiation between XMR and ZEC essentially positions them at different points on this spectrum: the former serves the complete spectrum, including more gray and black market usage demands; the latter focuses on compliance, excluding illegal scenarios while retaining privacy protection in compliant contexts through optional disclosure.

3.3 Consensus Three: Compliance is the Only Path to Mainstream Applications and Scaled Funding

The wave of delistings from exchanges has clearly drawn a red line. If the privacy sector wants to shed its labels of being niche, marginal, or even illegal, it must actively embrace compliance. This is not a compromise but rather a prerequisite for scaled survival and development.

While XMR faces ongoing pressure from regulatory agencies, ZEC maintains good exchange support and institutional funding channels due to its optional anonymity: in addition to Grayscale's Zcash Trust providing a compliant entry for institutions, there is also the DAT exposure established by Cypherpunk Technologies; ZKP technology is rapidly penetrating enterprise-level applications, including financial anti-fraud, privacy stablecoins like zkUSD, medical data sharing, government voting, and identity verification.

These all prove one point: only compliance can open the doors to enterprise-level applications, government cooperation, and traditional capital, achieving a leap from niche tools to infrastructure.

Emerging privacy projects in 2026, such as Zama (FHE fully homomorphic encryption), Railgun (EVM privacy), Aztec (ZK-rollup), and Arcium (Solana confidential computing), all adopt programmable, optionally disclosable designs to build a "Privacy 2.0" ecosystem. This also confirms a trend: the mainstream privacy products of the future will undoubtedly be compliance-friendly products.

3.4 Consensus Four: Technological Symbiosis, Differentiated Adaptation to Diverse Scenarios

The debate over whether ZKP or ring signatures are superior is gradually giving way to a more rational understanding: no single technology can dominate all scenarios.

ZKP will dominate compliance scenarios, in fields such as finance, data trading, government, and healthcare that need to interface with existing legal and commercial systems; ring signatures will retain usage in anti-censorship scenarios, with specific needs prioritizing anti-censorship for small payments, cross-border remittances, and gray and black market activities. Although XMR faces delistings from exchanges, it remains active in DEX and P2P markets.

At the same time, we also see a trend of technological evolution towards integration:

XMR's FCMP++ upgrade plan includes the addition of "outward viewing key" functionality, effectively moving towards optional disclosure; ZEC's Tachyon scaling solution aims to reduce the computational costs of ZKP and enhance the performance of fully shielded transactions; emerging hybrid technology stacks, such as FHE, privacy smart contracts, and ZK-rollups, all aim to provide modular solutions for different risk preferences.

The future landscape is more likely to be one where multiple technologies coexist, forming a layered ecosystem based on different risk preferences and application needs. Completely anonymous technology retains value in specific scenarios, while audit-friendly privacy technology becomes mainstream infrastructure, with both complementing rather than replacing each other.

4. 2026 Trend Outlook: From Game to Integration in Value Reshaping

Based on a deep analysis of divergences and consensus, combined with on-chain data, derivatives market insights, institutional reports, and social narratives, I make the following judgments about the development trajectory of the privacy sector in 2026:

4.1 2026 H1: Intensifying Differentiation, Emotional Digestion and Liquidity Reconstruction Under Regulatory Pressure

Survival Challenges for XMR

Completely anonymous coins represented by XMR will continue to face substantial pressure from global regulation. The EU's AMLR transitional phase means that more platforms will delist XMR.

Market performance expectations need to consider multiple factors: ongoing regulatory crackdowns and limited liquidity may lead to XMR's price further decoupling from the mainstream market, with increased volatility. The market seems to have priced XMR's gray and black market usage as part of the privacy premium, rather than a risk discount. This paradoxical pricing reflects the stability of gray and black market demand, the resilience of regulatory arbitrage, and the risk preferences of speculators. However, this pricing may face recalibration in the first half of 2026, as regulatory actions lead to a decline in actual trading volume or significant criminal cases trigger public pressure, prompting the market to reassess the sustainability of the gray and black market components within the privacy premium.

ZEC's Tug-of-War Period

ZEC will be caught in a tug-of-war between "demand support" and "the aftermath of governance disputes." The core variable in Q1 will be the execution capability of the CashZ team and the speed of rebuilding community trust. If operational progress is smooth, the roadmap is effectively executed (especially the Tachyon scaling), GitHub activity returns to normal, and some arbitrage funds flow back from XMR, along with stable growth in the shielded pool, the price is expected to break previous highs again.

Validation Period for Emerging Privacy Technologies like FHE

In contrast to the survival game of traditional privacy coins, programmable privacy technologies such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) are in a critical validation period from proof of concept to commercialization.

In Q1-Q2, they will face the following major challenges:

1. Technical Maturity Validation: Zama plans to advance Solana scaling and FHE ASIC; if hardware acceleration fails to materialize as expected, it may delay the commercialization process.

2. Developer Ecosystem Building: The activity level of testnets for projects like Fhenix and Inco, as well as the adoption rate of SDKs, will determine the richness of applications after the mainnet launch.

3. Institutional Collaboration Implementation: Whether collaborations with Open Zeppelin, Conduit, Circle Research, etc., can translate into actual deployments will impact market confidence.

4. Token Price Stability: After the mainnet launch and token TGE, the ability to absorb token sell pressure will be crucial.

4.2 2026 H2: Deepening Consensus, Accelerated Integration of Compliant Privacy Technologies with Traditional Finance

As the governance structure of ZEC stabilizes (expected to be completed in Q2-Q3), market sentiment will gradually recover, and investors' focus will shift back to the fundamentals of privacy technology: practical applications. The core narrative in the second half of the year will shift from "the technical route dispute between ZKP and ring signatures" to "the technological symbiosis of ZKP + FHE," where both will play complementary roles in different scenarios, jointly promoting the transition of privacy technology from marginal tools to digital economic infrastructure.

ZKP technology will accelerate its penetration into application scenarios, such as:

In the financial sector: demand for private DeFi transactions and wallet privacy, anti-fraud and credit assessment, cross-border payments and private stablecoins, institutional-grade private chains, RWA scenarios, etc.;

In the Crypto and AI sectors: KYC, on-chain reputation systems, KYA (Know Your Agent), confidential AI computing, combating AI data leaks, etc.;

In government and healthcare: anonymous voting, secure identity verification, insurance validation and medical record sharing, inter-departmental data collaboration and joint computing, etc.

The enterprise-level breakthroughs of FHE technology and its integration with the AI economy will bring about the core narrative of "Privacy 2.0": not only protecting data confidentiality but also supporting direct computation in an encrypted state, realizing the commercial application of "data being available but not visible." This will complement ZKP's "verifiable but not visible," together constructing the next generation of privacy technology stack.

At that time, the valuation logic of the privacy sector will undergo a fundamental transformation. Its value will no longer be merely linked to the speculative sentiment of the cryptocurrency market but will begin to anchor on the actual economic value it can create in resolving data sovereignty conflicts, reducing cross-border compliance costs, and empowering the circulation of data elements.

4.3 Risk Warnings

1. Risk of Regulatory Extremism

A comprehensive ban on privacy-enhancing technologies by major economies (though the probability is low) would destroy the legitimate development space of the entire sector.

2. Risk of Technological Breakthroughs

Significant security vulnerabilities discovered in cutting-edge cryptographic technologies like ZKP (e.g., the trusted setup of zk-SNARK being compromised); unexpected advancements in quantum computing (e.g., breakthroughs in Shor's algorithm) could disrupt existing privacy protocols. Additionally, if XMR's FCMP++ upgrade fails or introduces new vulnerabilities, it will severely impact trust, while ZEC's Tachyon scaling may limit adoption rates if it cannot effectively reduce ZKP costs.

3. Risk of Applications Falling Short of Expectations

Privacy technologies may fail to achieve large-scale implementation in key industries, leading to narratives that do not translate into revenue and growth.

4. Risk of Liquidity Drying Up

If more exchanges delist privacy coins (especially XMR), and DEX liquidity cannot effectively absorb the outflow, it will lead to a vicious cycle of price discovery failure, liquidity shortages, increased volatility, and market maker exits.

5. Unique Risks for ZEC

If the CashZ team fails to effectively execute the development roadmap, or if the new company structure triggers additional governance disputes; unresolved conflicts between the Bootstrap board and the community may pose a risk of chain forks; if Grayscale Trust redeems due to governance issues, it will impact institutional funding confidence.

Conclusion

Geopolitical and regulatory games are redefining the value of privacy, but the composition of this value is far more complex than a simple black-and-white dichotomy. In the multiple tensions between regulation and innovation, anonymity and compliance, decentralization and commercialization, privacy is being redefined: controllable visibility is the essence of privacy.

The future of privacy technology belongs to projects that can find the optimal balance between strong privacy protection, auditability, and commercial viability.

XMR is favored by gray and black markets due to its technical purity, but due to strong regulatory crackdowns, it can only seek survival in DEX and P2P markets, facing the severe reality of continuously squeezed liquidity;

ZEC meets compliance needs through optional anonymity, becoming a bridge for traditional financial institutions to enter on-chain privacy. However, its governance disputes expose the fragility of decentralized governance and foreshadow the inevitability of commercialization and compliance;

Emerging privacy technologies like FHE are seeking new value in the narrative of "Privacy 2.0," with potential to unlock trillion-dollar markets in enterprise applications, AI economy, and data collaboration, but in 2026, they remain in a critical validation period from proof of concept to commercialization.

In 2026, privacy will leap from a niche cryptocurrency sector to an indispensable infrastructure in the digital economy era: technologies that can achieve verifiable disclosure or programmable compliance while protecting privacy will gain scalable institutional space; while completely anonymous technologies, despite their value, will be restricted to marginal markets with limited liquidity and low regulatory tolerance.

This is the core logic of how regulatory games, technological evolution, and market choices are redefining the value of privacy.
