ZEC has surged 3,009% over the past year.
From being outside the top 82 to breaking into the global top ten by market cap, its circulating market cap has soared to $26.6 billion. Up 34% in 7 days, 183% in 30 days.
A year ago, ZEC was hovering around $82. Now? $1,588.
This is not a rebound, this is revenge.
Garrett Jin, one of the biggest short sellers of ZEC.
Holding about 38,000 ZEC short positions, with a position value close to $59 million, average short price $665. Current price $1,588, unrealized loss of $33.83 million. Liquidation price $4,790.
What did he do? Sold ETH to cover margin and added more shorts. Added another 5,000 short positions at $1,252.
One person losing $33 million and still not giving up—do you think he will win?
Another short seller wasn’t so tough. This morning, when ZEC pulled to $1,584, a whale holding for half a month was forced to liquidate, realizing a loss of $10.68 million. Even more painful: this address previously had a 79% trading win rate, earned $9.11 million since June, and just lost it all in this trade.
Won a hundred times, lost once and back to square one.
NU7 upgrade governance vote, 2.4 million ZEC participated, accounting for 66% of the eligible total, setting a record.
98.9% support retaining the Bitcoin-style halving mechanism, rejecting a smooth issuance curve. 99.9% support reducing block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, doubling throughput.
Mainnet activation on November 5.
The community won’t negotiate “take it slow.” If halving is needed, do a hard halving; if speeding up, double it.
Grayscale ZEC spot ETF has been online for two weeks, with assets under management surpassing $500 million, holding over 550,000 ZEC, about 3% of circulating supply.
Since listing on August 25, it has attracted over $70 million in inflows, and DCG has reinvested $100 million.
$500 million in two weeks—this is not retail FOMO, this is institutional accumulation.
EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (EU) 2024/1624, effective July 10, 2027.
All regulated EU exchanges must delist privacy coins like ZEC and XMR. No listing, no custody, no facilitation of trading.
It’s not a question of "if," but "when." The answer is written: less than 10 months.
Institutions are buying, shorts are holding, upgrades are imminent, bans are looming.
ZEC’s window of opportunity is real.
But the window has a time limit, that’s also real.
