Google Bets Big on Zero-Knowledge Proofs—Your Digital ID Just Got Uncrackable
Big Tech’s privacy play goes crypto-native as Google quietly deploys ZKPs for digital identities. No more ’show me your driver’s license’—just cryptographic proof you’re legit.
Why it matters: After years of data breaches and surveillance capitalism, ZKPs offer a rare win for user privacy. Google’s move could finally make ’verify without revealing’ mainstream.
The fine print: Sure, it’s privacy tech—but don’t expect Google to stop monetizing your existence. Those targeted ads aren’t going anywhere (yet).
Wall Street take: TradFi giants will spin this as ’blockchain-adjacent innovation’ while quietly shorting privacy coin ETFs. Hypocrisy? Always at ATH.
