BitMEX co-founder has continued to make bullish comments on Zcash, which he recently revealed his fund’s second-largest liquid holding after Bitcoin. This time around, he has declared that ZEC is a better altcoin than XRP, indicating that the former could overtake the latter in market cap at some point. Arthur Hayes Says ZEC Greater Than XRP In an X post, the BitMEX co-founder said that Zcash is greater than XRP, suggesting that it could overtake XRP in market cap. Zcash is currently the 12th-largest crypto asset, with a market cap of $10 billion, while XRP has a market cap of $ 135 billion. Meanwhile, Hayes also revealed that he had bought more ZEC amid its recent uptrend. As CoinGape reported earlier, Zcash is the second-largest liquid holding in the BitMEX founder’s fund, after Bitcoin.

At $19,200, Zcash would have a market cap of $313 billion, potentially ranking as the third-largest crypto by market cap behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. PAMP IT!
