Zcash Token KursZEC

$ZEC / $USD Compression under key resistance + a rising wedge that’s losing momentum. Each bounce is weaker, buyers are getting absorbed, and liquidity below is still untouched. If support cracks, this turns into a fast flush before any real relief rally. Market is coiled — downside pressure is building.

Winklevoss Twins Donate $1.16M in Zcash to Shielded Labs Shielded Labs received 3,221 Zcash valued at approximately $1.16 million from Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss to fund independent Zcash development, the organization announced Tuesday. The donation will finance protocol initiatives, including the Network Sustainability Mechanism, Crosslink, and Dynamic Fees, aimed at enhancing security, scalability, and economic stability. The development group operates outside Zcash's block reward and development fund systems, depending on donations for protocol-level research and engineering work. Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox participates in the organization's efforts. Tyler Winklevoss stated that ecosystem health depends on multiple independent groups contributing at the protocol level, describing Shielded Labs as a vital component. Cameron Winklevoss explained that the brothers have supported Zcash for years based on their view that robust privacy represents a fundamental characteristic of sound money. The contribution follows recent disruption within the Zcash ecosystem. Multiple developers departed the Electric Coin Company this month following board disagreements and launched a separate entity. Electric Coin Company initiated Zcash in 2016 and has functioned as the lead protocol developer working alongside the Zcash Foundation and other teams. Cryptographers who left the organization unveiled a new Zcash wallet simultaneously, illustrating both splintering and broadening of development activities around the network. The Zcash Foundation announced earlier this month that the Securities and Exchange Commission concluded a multi-year investigation into the organization, eliminating the regulatory overhang that had persisted. Shielded Labs presented the Winklevoss contribution as endorsement of Zcash's privacy-centered mission and decentralized development approach. The funding arrives shortly after Winklevoss-connected entities expanded Zcash positions. Cypherpunk, a company linked to the twins, purchased $29 million in Zcash earlier this year, raising its total stake to roughly 2% of Zcash's circulating supply. Zcash traded near $359.77 when Tuesday's announcement occurred. Zcash debuted in 2016 to facilitate private, shielded transactions through zero-knowledge cryptography. Advocates maintain that fortifying protocol infrastructure is critical as global discussions around financial surveillance and censorship intensify. The Network Sustainability Mechanism, Crosslink, and Dynamic Fees constitute long-term protocol projects that will benefit from the Winklevoss donation, Shielded Labs indicated. $ZEC

$ZEC made a sharp impulsive move up from the 365 area and quickly tagged the 387–388 resistance, where price started slowing down. After the strong push, buyers are no longer showing the same interest and candles are getting smaller near the top, which usually signals short-term exhaustion. As long as ZEC stays below the 387–390 resistance zone, a pullback toward lower support looks more likely for a scalp. Short ZEC Entry Zone: 380 – 387 Stop Loss: 392 TP1: 372 TP2: 365 Or 100% to 500% This is a scalp trade. Use 20x to 50x leverage with a margin of 1% to 5%. Book partial profit at TP1 and move stop-loss to entry.

$ZEC has rebounded from its recent lows, but price is still struggling to break above key resistance. The bounce lacks strong continuation and appears corrective rather than impulsive. Sellers continue to defend the upper range, while liquidity remains stacked below current levels. The structure is clean, with resistance around 372–380 and support holding in the 355–340 zone.
