Summary

AllianceDAO co-founder Wang Qiao shared insights on the BTC market update, suggesting ZEC could emerge as a hedging asset for BTC holders. He outlined a conservative target of ZEC reaching 3% to 5% of BTC’s market cap, with a more aggressive projection of 15% to 20%. Wang also noted a low-probability scenario in which ZEC could gain increased traction if BTC faces risks such as quantum computing threats or issues related to Michael Saylor.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Wang Qiao, co-founder of AllianceDAO, posted on X that Zcash has the potential to serve as a hedging asset for some Bitcoin holders. A more conservative target is for ZEC’s market cap to reach approximately 3% to 5% of Bitcoin’s, prompting Bitcoin holders to rebalance a portion of their positions into ZEC for risk hedging. A more aggressive outlook suggests ZEC’s market cap could reach 15% to 20% of Bitcoin’s, similar to silver’s market positioning relative to gold.

Additionally, Wang Qiao’s analysis presents an extreme “flippening” scenario in which, should Bitcoin encounter a major systemic risk event—such as risks related to Michael Saylor or black swan factors like quantum computing threats—ZEC could potentially significantly increase its market share; however, this scenario is described as low-probability.
