BlockBeats News, January 7, a16z Crypto General Partner Ali Yahya stated that privacy will become the most important barrier in the crypto industry this year and a key feature driving the global financial sector towards blockchain. However, almost all current chains lack this feature. The three major trends—decentralized messaging, infrastructure where "service is privacy," and the shift from "code is law" to a "regulation is law" security model—will shape the next stage of development in the crypto space.

According to Foresight News, a16z crypto general partner Ali Yahya tweeted that "Privacy is a key factor recognized by the industry for promoting the global financial on-chain, yet it is a function that is completely lacking in the vast majority of Blockchains today. For most chains, privacy is still merely an afterthought. Token cross-chain transfers are as easy as pie, but privacy cross-chain transfers are as difficult as climbing to the sky. Given the critical importance of privacy functions for most real-world application scenarios, a few privacy chains will dominate the Crypto Assets market."
