Zach Pandl
Head of Research, Grayscale
Zach Pandl is head of research at Grayscale Investments, one of the largest crypto asset managers; a podcast transcript filed with the SEC gives his internal rank there as managing director. He came to crypto from mainstream macroeconomics rather than from inside the industry, after nearly two decades as a macroeconomist and markets strategist on Wall Street: his official conference biography names Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities and Lehman Brothers, and in that SEC-filed transcript he says his career began at Lehman Brothers as an economist twenty years earlier. He holds a bachelor's degree in international economics from the University of St. Thomas and a master's in economics from New York University. His public arguments still run through a macro frame: on Bits + Bips in June 2026 he argued that speculative retail flows rather than geopolitics drove the gold and Bitcoin selloffs, that the underlying deficit-and-debt case for holding both was unchanged, and that the dip was a buy for longer-horizon investors. He regularly represents Grayscale on stage and on air — he broke down the quantum-computing threat to Bitcoin and Ethereum at EthCC in Cannes in April 2026, and unpacked the debut of the first Zcash ETF on CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange in September 2026.
