It's true that BTC can't be frozen at the protocol level like USDT or USDC. However, its addresses still get blacklisted by OFAC. If you interact with them, your wallet gets "tainted" and you'll trigger risk controls at any major exchange. While hopping to privacy coins like XMR or ZEC can break the on-chain tracking, their liquidity pools are way too small. Institutional-sized money just can't enter or exit without massive slippage.

The people saying P2P are way behind (that’s like a 2018 method of trading) You can do a ZEC swap with no KYC using something like LeoDex which has done over $1.3M in BTC to ZEC swaps today alone 1. Go to something like LeoDex (or a different app if you prefer) 2. Set input to BTC (or whatever crypto you have) 3. Quote a swap to ZEC by putting it in the output 4. If you like the quote, connect & swap Done! No KYC and it takes a few mins to do. This is how crypto was meant to be moved

Depends if you just care about buzzwords or the actual implementation. If you care about buzzwords, the game is to just front run PnD groups - not really doable unless you have insider info or maybe a friend of Barry’s. If you care about implementation, then it is tricky. Quantum proofing requires to understand how the projects need to 1) architecturally deal with new computational load without getting more centralized and 2) it does shift the burden onto users’ end. For example for ZEC, a lot of misinformation from Barry’s group on hyping it as quantum resistant if you enter the shielded pool. The problem is ZK-snark proofs aren’t quantum proof. So if a quantum computer hacks into your shielded pool and forge fraud proofs, then your ZEC in the shielded pool is basically stranded like a hacked bridge’s asset. Even if they implement quantum proofs, ZEC design would require user to produce proofs on their end. It significantly amps up the hardware requirement on their user end to use ZEC. These are details you wouldn’t know if you just treat quantum as a pump and dump meta with your Barry’s friend group.

BTC and ZEC are a good solution

yefuck

i think if bitcoin bounces back and market sentiment improves the privacy wave might come back to life. ZEC and XMR are also just good projects anyways so I hold them regardless.

yefuck

ZEC, Dash, ZEN, BTC, LTC, ETH. but to be super clear I’m like 80% btc

The main ones (ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX) and the privacy ones (ZEC, XMR)

What about ZEC?

bastaja1337

Not true. TAO had 100% run few weeks ago. ZEC went from sub 200 to 300+. Alone w/o btc.

SurprisedByItAll

ZEC

AlgonikHQ

ZK privacy tech is genuinely undervalued by the market, but “better tech” rarely equals “higher price” in crypto without a catalyst or narrative cycle behind it. ZEC has struggled with the privacy coin regulatory overhang more than the tech itself. What’s your timeline and entry price?​​​​​​​​​​​​

Choice_Potato_6279

Why not shorting trash that's guaranteed to keep dumping like Litecoin, XTZ or ZEC?

LTP-N

Honestly, this is why I don't bother. I buy and hold BTC and noe also a bit of a gamble hold of ZEC and XTZ and I'll hold them until they go to 0, or I get a number I can use for a house deposit, anything in-between isn't enough to care about.

happy_caravan

In my opinion, the privacy niche is undervalued. The political class seems to increase focus on surveillance and control, like with stablecoins. Genius act gives them the green light to tokenize everything. Looking at LTC, PIVX, FIRO, ZANO. Not going to touch ZEC, DASH and XMR though.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

ZEC is down -41.72% the past 3 months. I don't like the current price at all. I still have the ZEC I mined years ago...

Revenantjuggernaut

Yeah I got locked up Oct10. Won in trial. Lost over half what I built from Aug 14 to Oct10th. Took what was left and rode TAO n ZEC. Dunno if it was revenge trading… or i dunno. But Oct 10 one for the books. Lost so much more than half my account. Devastating

Revenantjuggernaut

Yeah I’ve only been in the game since last Aug. Have learned ALOT. Still have alot to go lol. But I swung TAO and ZEC Round October? Ish. That was awesome

I like the privacy coins. BTC XMR ZEC LTC but I’m holding off until this bear bottoms.

ZEC? they've been very careful to not release that info.

ZEC. Private BTC.

BTCWallahFXEmpire

1. Its not a switch between Bitcoin and Litecoin, ofc. The point is allocation of resources to mine undervalued assets like Litecoin. 2. Source? 3. Enough fundamentals are attached to LTC, with privacy narrative leading for now. More mining doesnt help prices (if there's no demand on the other side). But to say there won't be any demand for LTC, an OG PoW asset, when Bitcoin becomes scarcer, is too much. Litecoin can exist in the same ecosystem as ZEC/XMR. We just saw them pop outta nowhere. One supertrend is enough.

MaximumStudent1839

> Always remember that grayscale is a shitcoin company that has an interest in undermining Bitcoin. They will sell anything if there is a big backer willing to put money behind them. They shilled loads of "AI" shitcoins too. It is not specific to BTC. The chances are, the big money behind this push is tied to miners and their ASIC manufacturers. BTC mining is taking a huge hit. Companies like Antminer need to find new buyers for their chips under these conditions. ZEC is probably one of their many bets to generate profit for the ASIC mining industry.

quantum_burp

1) it runs on a different hashing algo so nobody is moving to mine it 2) most of the profit from mining ltc came from doge, but that's down 90% or something 3) more mining isn't going to make the price go up There is no niche that LTC fills that other networks don't fill better. Store of value? -> BTC payment network? -> BTC + lightning, or any stablecoin on an eth l2 Privacy coin? -> ZEC/XMR The only reason LTC has any value is because coinbase listed it alongside btc, eth and xrp in 2017. Since then the people who initially bought it keep buying more.

Alexbobica

Congratulations, that’s a great move! We don’t know where the bottom is, so no need to worry. I’m holding BTC and a few alts (ZEC, AIOZ, & DIA). I think in 5 years we’ll be more than satisfied. Let’s see.

inShambles3749

No. Keep the usecase separated. XMR for privacy. Don't want or need the half-assed hybrid shit BCH or ZEC offers

Decentralization-God

Regarding traction and growing interest, I would say following. First is the success of mainnet launch, smooth, fully operational status etc. DUST token use. It is reported that some “starting dapps” should be part of this, but I dont think it was explicitly marketed. Anyway these need to be present on testnet already, not sure what it is though. Charles Hoskinson also said he would like to see top 15 Cardano dApps to get funding and showcase Midnight benefits where applicable. Here I need to admit, I am no active user of dApps as of now, I think the real stuff is to come. Not sure if DEXes are good example like MinSwap. I would look for a new privacy requiring thing, so that it did not exist in 2025 yet :) I like the demos InputOutput and Midnight do, as they use games as a tool. For example the Doom challenge for showcasing Hydra performance and scalability or now MidnightCity - a game of AI agents conducting transactions with privacy options with each other. Also the market indicators will be good to watch. Price, volume - it was even 5bn after the launch, today is less than 10m 🤔😄 I suggest those recent Japan Tour videos on YT and Ch. Hoskinson presentations as he is the guy to go. Maybe you saw them already. For the competitors I think “privacy” is sort of new buzzword and it not always means the same thing. There was ZCash/ZEC ressurrection recently, but have doubts this is anywhere close, and some devs left the team. Chainlink reported some “privacy” features recently but it is oracle, also saw some Solana stuff. https://medium.com/@0x_mikee/the-future-of-privacy-on-solana-why-2026-changes-everything-and-how-lumenless-leads-the-way-3ba2c2c66c06 Midnight is special as it was built as privacy go-to system for all other L1 chains (Btc, Eth, Sol, ADA, …) - so quite ambitious stuff. Anyway they worked on it for many years like 7 or so, many older era scientists were asked and joined the team. Also Charles said, he managed to bring together people from several other L1 chains and Midnight presents the best pieces/lessons learnt from all those projects. This collaboration effort is unprecedented itself, for such competitive and adversary industry 😁

Numerous_Ruin_4947

It probably does not take a lot to move ZEC. There's less ZEC in supply than BTC.

If XMR makes sense then ZEC makes sense too.

TAO is being WIDELY built on. There's over 100 different AI projects competing for TAO emissions. Just to name a few: Ridges.ai - chutes.ai - tplr.ai - bitcast.network - almanac.market - synthdata.co And Near Intents actually gained pretty decent traction during the ZEC finale. Wouldn't be surprised to see it expand on that. It's a useful product, I used it multiple times.

immarfa

I just want to have enough money to retire, but I will HODL next 30 years. I really believe in BTC and XAUT. Also private coins like XMR, ZEC , XMR , DASH. But I don't which will perform better in the long run. Have all of them, but won't buy more except XMR.

I lost $3k on ZEC these past days on 5x leveraged positions, wish I'd waited for it to finally settle. Seems like it's finding support at 200 but who knows.

>SOL is bleeding pretty damn bad. yeah, that's the point behind this thread, everything is cheap, meaning unless the corresponding fundamentals dropped as much as the price, then it should be a more attractive asset. Solana is far and away the most competitive chain to ETH, it took the opposite approach to scaling which now looks even smarter as Vitalik is questioning the execution ETH's L2-centric roadmap, onchain metrics are already top of the industry but even then they've been improving, tradfi inflows are steady, RWA adoption continues to increase, Solana is still the preferred chain for most project launches and is generally the first place where emerging narratives and use cases proliferate(AI agents, DePIN, etc). Not to mention we're now 2 years away from the last outage, and since then 10+ other chains have had downtime(mostly ETH L2s and Sui), yet no one cares. New L1s have popped up, but none of them have really gained any traction. You had Plasma launched by Tether, Monad super hyped up, Tempo, Keeta, none of these are really doing anything, so it seems clear that the networks effects of Ethereum and Solana have given them a strong moat. I can't see any new L1s challenging them if the recent launches are trending this way and I doubt any old L1s will catch up. Outside of Solana lacking a more competitive perps protocol, there isn't really much specific weakness in the ecosystem. Solana has been steadily progressing towards the original North star of "decentralized NASDAQ", teams from other networks understand how important Solana is and now even L1 coins like MON, ZEC are getting put on Solana. Coinbase/Base has upped their Solana support, devs from Near(who are very respected) made SolSwap. Even if you kind of bearish on crypto in general, you should be extremely bullish on Solana relative to the industry IMO.

Post is by: badplayz99 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1quumpz/explaining_macro_and_crypto_feat_arthur_hayes/ The other day Arthur Hayes published an essay ([http://cryptohayes.substack.com/p/woomph](http://cryptohayes.substack.com/p/woomph)) about macro and how crypto moves overall. It’s long, a lot of fluff, but there are some interesting takes, so I decided to throw the key points into a post. Here’s some useful info for your feed. Let’s read ✏️ The main point that caught my attention first is the rise of the “Foreign Currency Denominated Assets” line in the Fed’s weekly report. Roughly speaking: an increase in that line = the Fed is printing dollars = buying Japanese government bonds (JGBs) = Bitcoin starts pumping. I’m not sure how strong/accurate that correlation is, but you can track the data on this site ([https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/)) - it has the latest report and the next ones will appear there too. **Using Japan’s crisis as an example (per Hayes):** A weak yen + rising JGB yields leads to the Bank of Japan losing control, and Japanese investors (Japan Inc., $2.4T in US Treasuries) start selling US bonds. As a result, US yields rise and Trump’s deficit becomes unbearable. **How the Fed could intervene here (playing the “savior”):** 1. The NY Fed prints dollars for JP Morgan; 2. JP Morgan swaps USD into JPY in the FX market; 3. It buys JGBs for SOMA (the Fed’s portfolio). **Result :** the yen strengthens, JGB yields fall, and the Fed’s balance sheet grows. Everyone wins. This benefits Trump because the whole setup makes US exports cheaper, giving them a competitive edge over China. As a result, stocks go up - but that’s just a prediction for now. He’s also bullish on DeFi “shitcoins”, saying you can buy things like $ZEC, $LDO, $ETHFI, $PENDLE now and they’ll go up. I’d avoid decisions like that - you can see how everything is dumping right now. The smartest move is to sit on the sidelines; it feels too early to start picking bottoms *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Now we understand why: ZEC was just a PEDO coin By Epstein https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00842748.pdf

LTP-N

My version is, bought XTZ in 2021, watched £30k fo to £55k, and literally every day since it's just went down and down and down, to a new ATL, it was hovering below its ATL and I was nervous it was just goign to crash, so moved it to ZEC which seemd to have stablised 50% below it's pump to 700, and a few days afte the ZEC team left, and the coin dropped another 15%+ instantly. I'm now stuck with 12.8 ZEC worth about £3-4k

Post is by: Original-Assistant-8 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://coinmarketcap.com/view/quantum-resistant/ Quantum resistance topic grows bigger daily. Coinbase recently announced an advisory board for risk mitigation. Ethereum also has announced it as a top priority. And everyone is trying to land messaging around it. The link shows projects that have added the quantum resistant tag on coinmarketcap. Things to know First the usual- yes, this affects all systems and not just crypto. Everyone will need solutions. And that's why we are seeing governments and businesses (like Coinbase, Apple, Google) all start to work on it. The unique challenge in crypto- you need consensus across a decentralized system. And if it has user impacts, you have to be very careful so they can navigate the change (with time to do so. For BTC, people are realizing that it is best to deal with this. There is perceived risk, which equals market risk. It is a tough change with much disagreement on the approach due to various impacts on the required change. Going down the coinmarketcap list in the Quantum Resistant category: ZEC is a recent addition, surprisingly. Their shielded transactions offer protection, but if you want to use the public side, that is still vulnerable. They will need to fix this to be considered quantum resistant STRK is a layer 2 scaling solution for eth. Since the root issue is your digital signature and protecting your wallet, it will be dependent on the Ethereum solution Nervos is Cell based architecture. I'd need to learn more on this: "The *protocol enables* quantum resistance, but users must choose to adopt quantum-secure lock scripts or wallets like Quantum Purse" QANX (I hold this one) is pre-mainnet and has a solution for the seamless transition of digital signatures. Recent news was this already being implemented at Ueno bank through their Itti partnership alongside SignQuantum. They have a heavy focus in enterprise utility. Naoris was fairly new to the list. They promote that they can secure networks as a layer 0. Like nervos, this is beyond my depth. Already wild leveraged trading if you like that. Not for me And the list goes on. There will continue to be many storylines here. My guess is among major chains, while we'll see some gain/lose ground based on how this plays out, but it may not be as big of impact as some projects would like to hope. It will certainly create visibility for well positioned projects. But there is a lot of opportunity here as this becomes a worldwide transition. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Lots of alts shot up even in the past 2 years to all-time highs. XRP, SOL, XMR, ZEC, etc. If people really think we're going back to the days of Farm.Finance, BatmanSwap and PillsburyDoughCoin 25x'ing for no reason - that's wishful thinking.

ZEC and XMR has the same scarcity as BTC

Everyone was waiting for another 4-year cycle, but alt season we wanted to see hasn't happened since 2021. Of course, with exceptions - ZEC, SOL memcoins. However, as the commentator already mentioned, Trump collected the lion's share of the liquidity with his memcoins.

cryptogooner

This is why ZCash (ZEC) is superior.

BlockEnthusiast

tornado is not shut down. if you have an issue w/ railgun and you sent the funds to yourself you can prove the chain of custody to your institution. every privacy solution will run into this friction though, and 0 have an actual plan for anything that includes some other guy used a privacy solution and then sent me money. there is privacy pools implementation 0xBow which trades of permissionlessness for an authority which has limited permission to boot user deposits if linked to nefarious activity. (I personally wish they would add some checks and balances to this authority and they seem to not find value in doing that you could swap in ZEC via cross chain magic and sit in their shielded pool, but imo as the current favour of the day, they will start getting the same issues with CEXs soon enough as the approach to handling that friction is exactly the same as railgun. there is monero, but quite the bitch to get to from other chains. its more isolated from my view.

noviwu97

Always has been The whole category usually see a considerable pump when one of them massively pumped. Like when ZEC skyrocketed, XMR and other privacy coin went up too. When TAO skyrocketed, all the AI coins also pumped.

Alexbobica

Good plan imo. I would rather choose a higher percentage to be in BTC. However, my pf invlude 70% in BTC, 10% in ETH and SOL, 30% in AIOZ, WILD, DIA, ZEC, etc.

Good question, but I’m not very familiar with ZEC, so I don’t know.

haskellnoob123

bbqyak

Zcash is decentralized and open source, meaning no single person or entity manages, controls or develops it. It's a labor of love by various parties. That being said, the original non-profit company that created Zcash is ECC. Recently what happened was the CEO (Swihart) accused the majority of the board of being in misalignment with Zcash's original mission, while the accused board members have cited "hostile or intolerable” working conditions. They had an internal dispute and eventually a large portion of the board left ECC to start their own for-profit project. ECC developed Zashi wallet, and this new company the former board members would create be working on a new wallet. The Zcash protocol itself remains unaffected. I'd been following Zcash for a long time and to be honest the price was already headed down prior to the announcement but the announcement accelerated it for sure. If I had to speculate, I would say the board members intentionally left in such a way that it would negatively affect the price by creating more uncertainty. They might have even revenged dumped some of their ZEC.

williamz902

If you hold ZEC, Pippin, XMR, RIVER, or XRP... the slow dump has started. Last chance to sell your holdings for a profit.

MrWonderfulPoop

Sheesh. Almost got liquidated with ZEC

olduvai_man

Shocking that people are bullish on the long-term prospects of XMR after/while it pumps to new ATHs. Just a few months ago everyone proclaimed it dead because it has been delisted from a lot of exchanges and the QUBIC project was "attacking" it in an atempt to gain the majority of hashrate on the network as a POC. It's been around a long time, has an actual use-case (more than I can say for 99% of this space) and is well known but it has tons of issues and is likely simply riding the same speculation wave as ZEC. I'd almost bet my life that it will fall right back to where it was if the market gains any traction.

ODD_Old_Dirty_Degen

I dont think its as simple as a rotation from ZEC to XMR. Of course there is some rotation taking place, but I dont think its the main driver of this move. I think the main driver is the high time frame chart of XMR, The breakout was forseeable and I think its the most bullish high timeframe chart that crypto has to offer at the moment. And obviously the privacy narrative (anti CBDC) that also pumped ZEC.

eckstuhc

XMR is the original privacy coin, but it’s been suppressed for years due to delisting. Then there was a QUBIC attack on it last summer, then the ZEC rally which both took momentum away from it. Now it’s picking back up, people are dumping ZEC for XMR. I also heard there’s a new atomic swap available so people don’t have to rely on exchanges or third parties. There’s more but it’s really just a multi-year breakout that’s been forming for some time.

Additional-War-837

So ZEC would be the the private and fully anonymous coin before XME ?

Demodras777

ZEC, DASH, and LTC are the standouts.

Brilliant_Document22

If you want PoW plus real privacy, it’s basically ZEC, with LTC-MWEB as a lighter version. But honestly, most people just use whatever coin they want and break the link before moving funds. A quick hop through something like [privax.xyz](http://privax.xyz) keeps your main stack clean without needing a dedicated privacy coin.

2peg2city

This is just rotation from ZEC, it too will end

lookingglass91

That’s not true, The entire Zcash dev team just walked out. Electric Coin Company - the people who actually build Zcash - resigned yesterday.  All of them. At once. The dispute: "malicious governance" by Bootstrap, the nonprofit that controls ECC. The CEO says the board changed employment terms to make it impossible to work. He's calling it constructive discharge. Translation: the builders and the board couldn't agree on who controls the money and the roadmap. So the builders left. ZEC was down 19% in 24 hours after this. From $480 to $392. Why this matters: Zcash isn't like Bitcoin where the protocol is "done." It's actively developed - zk-SNARKs, Sapling, Orchard. Without the core team, there's no roadmap. The chain runs, but the future doesn't. The devs say they're forming a new company to continue building "unstoppable private money." Whether that means a fork, a competitor, or something else - unclear. Whatever. The deeper issue: Nonprofit governance structures in crypto are a liability. When the builders and the board diverge, you get this - a public meltdown while the token tanks. Monero doesn't have this problem. No company, no foundation with a board, no dev fund to fight over. Just contributors who show up. Zcash was the "institutional-friendly" privacy coin. Now it doesn't have institutions OR developers. Privacy coins are consolidating. This accelerates that.

Because Reddit crypto is not smart in crypto sad to say. Most of these idiots have 0 clue. Privacy coins have been popping off and with $ZEC dev team leaving recently, this propelled XMR to the top of the privacy coin list. It is also the OG. Offloaded a bit of my holdings yesterday, still holding some because chart still looks good.

sarjad

It looks like a rotation from ZEC to XMR to me. From what I saw zcash do, I think it still has a lot of room to run

ProfitableCheetah

Holy moly! I completely missed the XMR pump. Did the ZEC folk capitulate into Monero?

monerobull

That one was purely a gemini funded pump and dump. They bought $60M worth of ZEC to pump it and establish a microstrategy wannabe by rebranding a failed biotech during the gov shutdown (to prevent the SEC from saying anything), then paid a bunch of twitter KOLs to shill it.

Yeah, holding fiat doesn't make much sense unless you're waiting to buy something very soon. The USD inflated like 3% last year. So you're getting -3% APY return. And that's just according to the official numbers. The psychos here will downvote this, but I can't imagine not holding Solana in 2026. Personally I'd put most of it in Solana LST like INF then multiply that on Jupiter by borrowing SOL. You'll end up with a 20-25% yield. So if you put in all $30k you'll have about $47k worth in a couple years. And if Solana hits $500 then you'll have $170k. If you want to stay diversified, I'd do $15k SOL, $12k BTC, $5k ETH, $3k ZEC.

I can not say anything about profit since ETFs have changed the whole space and market circles. However, I have been mostly focused on long-term investments, but have some short-term ofc- REKT. Among favourite alts there are LINK- solid, fast-growing ecosystem, DIA- also a solid oracle project, AIOZ- decentralized storage, streaming, and AI compute full stack, ZEC- privacy project attracted attention lately, and OCEAN-monetize data without giving up on ownership.

Gemini-funded pump and dump. They took a failed biotech and turned it into a zcash microstrategy-wanabe holdings company during the gov shutdown, that way the SEC couldn't say anything, bought a bunch of ZEC with Gemini money and then paid crypto influencers so shill it.

GreedVault

and now the ZEC core dev team has resigned…

Buying BEAM and not buying XMR and ZEC is an insane level of stupidity 🤣

Consider selling ZEC

Correct - increased regulations and taxes would not pump Zcash 15x. Nobody sitting on huge amounts of btc or anything else would move into ZEC down 99%, because of proposed laws (laws have been proposed for years) without assurances/ideas of what was going to happen. Yes privacy coins all pumped. XMR was flying higher anyway because it has actual usage and has for years. Sorry if you’re new here and got trapped by this.

Here's the CEO tweet saying they were kinda forced out: https://x.com/jswihart/status/2008987228429799621 ZEC has dropped 15% in a day (although to be honest most crytpo fell today) Code/Coin dynamics haven't changed.. Just the team

ExpertLocality

ZEC just got ghosted by its brain trust and the charts look like somebody kicked the ladder. This ain’t a dip buy, it’s more like a survival horror dlc drop for hodlers

ThatChrisGuy7

IMO time to hit that ZEC short while it’s over 410

digital_n01se_

bro talks like ZEC is bitcoin

SameWeekend13

I remember when people were putting LTC down and hyping ZEC (ZCash). Guess now tables have turned.

This is huge news and it's about to get a ton of attention as the day progresses. ZEC is already down almost 20% on the news. I've got a bad feelings it's gonna drag down the rest of the market a bit.

tldr; Electric Coin Company (ECC), the core development team behind Zcash (ZEC), resigned en masse on January 7 due to governance disputes with the board. ECC’s CEO described the exit as a result of 'constructive discharge,' citing board actions that hindered the team’s ability to fulfill Zcash’s mission. The developers plan to form a new company to continue working on Zcash’s privacy technology. The resignation has caused a governance crisis, raising concerns about the project's future, though the Zcash network remains operational and decentralized. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.
