But most coins are public ledger. And the "know your customer" exchanges are not allowing privacy protecting coins.

    And Zcash is not private by default (though can be shielded). Monero is private by default and is also available on Kraken and others.

      Good point about exchanges with Monero. (It's also on Coinbase, of the others I listed.) The "private by default" criticism is misleading: - While this is important in a design which mixes your transaction with a limited set of other recent transactions, in Zcash the privacy set is all of the shielded transactions ever. - It's not a "default" technically, it's a choice of transparent and shielded, both of which are useful. "Default" is a wallet UX question. I think the latest reference wallet auto-shields things so you don't have to remember to shield what comes in from a transparent transaction.
