Vitalik Buterin Champions Privacy in Crypto
-

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin continues to push for privacy and self-sovereignty in 2025, arguing that onboarding users should focus on openness, not just Ethereum adoption. He warns against “walled gardens” and centralized identifiers, advocating instead for attribute-based verification using zero-knowledge proofs. This approach lets users prove necessary attributes without revealing personal data, preserving privacy while preventing long-term tracking. Ethereum now hosts over 750 privacy-focused projects exploring identity, credentials, and selective disclosure. -
