Cardano's Midnight blockchain could surpass Zcash in privacy crypto, says founder Charles Hoskinson.

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Input Output Global and Cardano, predicts that Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain and Cardano partner chain, could eventually outgrow Zcash. Midnight's native token NIGHT has recently gained about 21%, attracting attention for its potential as a strong crypto investment. Hoskinson highlights Midnight's advanced privacy features like zero-knowledge proofs, trusted execution environments, and multiparty computation, combined with DeFi capabilities and Cardano's infrastructure, as key advantages. Despite Zcash's much larger market cap and recent price surge, Hoskinson remains bullish on Midnight's long-term growth and broader use cases in the blockchain privacy space.

While Charles Hoskinson predicts Midnight could surpass Zcash, on Pluang Zcash trades at Rp26.279.894 with a notable 8.80% drop as of Sep 29, 2026 03:52 WIB. Zcash's market cap stands at Rp7,04T, and all recent Pluang order activity is selling, reflecting cautious sentiment. This contrasts with Hoskinson's bullish outlook on Midnight's growth potential in the privacy blockchain space.
