📺 ZCASH HITS BLOOMBERG TV
Zcash just got mainstream financial airtime.
Grayscale’s Krista Lynch appeared on Bloomberg TV to discuss the fundamentals behind $ZEC — including its 21 million supply cap, Proof-of-Work security, zero-knowledge technology and the choice between shielded and transparent transactions.
But the bigger story is the exposure.
Zcash is being discussed on one of the world's most influential financial networks — in front of traditional investors.
And with Grayscale actively promoting its Zcash investment product, $ZEC is increasingly entering conversations far beyond the crypto-native privacy community.
Privacy tech is getting mainstream attention. 👀

| 3 |  🛡 ZCASH 101: SHIELDED vs. TRANSPARENT TRANSACTIONS
One of the most misunderstood things about Zcash is this:
Not every ZEC transaction has to be private.
Zcash gives users two fundamentally different ways to transact.
🔍 TRANSPARENT TRANSACTIONS
Transparent Zcash works similarly to Bitcoin.
Transaction data is recorded publicly on the blockchain, meaning information such as addresses, transferred amounts and transaction history can be visible and analyzed.
Transparent addresses traditionally begin with “t”.
🛡 SHIELDED TRANSACTIONS
Shielded Zcash uses zero-knowledge cryptography to validate transactions without publicly revealing the sensitive transaction data.
In a fully shielded transaction, the blockchain can verify that the transaction is valid without publicly exposing:
• the sender
• the recipient
• the amount transferred
• the encrypted memo
The network can therefore enforce the monetary rules without needing to reveal the financial details of the payment.
⚡ WHY DOES ZCASH SUPPORT BOTH?
Because Zcash was designed to give users choice.
Transparent transactions provide compatibility with services and exchanges that don't yet support shielded ZEC.
Shielded transactions provide financial privacy when supported by the user's wallet or service.
Modern Zcash wallets can also use Unified Addresses, allowing different Zcash receiver types to be handled through a more convenient address system.
And following the Ironwood NU6.3 upgrade, Zcash continues evolving its shielded infrastructure while preserving this fundamental idea:
Privacy should be available at the protocol level — not added as an afterthought.
Zcash doesn't simply move value.
It gives users control over how much of their financial activity becomes public.

| 5 |  🚨 ZCASH COOLS AFTER MASSIVE 60% RALLY
Zcash is taking a breather after one of its strongest rallies in years.
ZEC surged nearly 60% over the past week, reaching an 8-year high near $880 before pulling back around 8% as traders began taking profits.
But beneath the correction, market activity remains extremely elevated.
📈 Futures Open Interest: nearly $1.8B
🔥 Weekly ZEC Rally: ~60% at the peak
🏦 ZCSH: now trading on NYSE Arca
🗳 NU7: Coinholder voting underway
The sharp rise in open interest shows just how much speculative capital has entered the ZEC market — meaning volatility could remain high in both directions.
After such an aggressive move, a pullback isn't unusual.
The bigger question now:
Is ZEC simply consolidating before its next move?

ZCASH COULD GET 3× FASTER
A major performance upgrade is being proposed for Zcash.
ZIP 218, currently proposed for Network Upgrade 7 (NU7), would reduce Zcash’s target block time from:
⏱ 75 seconds → 25 seconds
What could that mean?
⚡ ~3× faster block production
🚀 Faster first confirmations
📈 Orchard capacity: ~2.9 → ~6.6 TPS
🔒 No change to Zcash’s 21M maximum supply
The proposal is designed to improve transaction latency and network throughput while preserving Zcash’s core privacy architecture.
Important: This is not live yet. ZIP 218 is currently a draft proposal being considered for NU7.
Zcash isn’t only about privacy.
It’s a privacy protocol that continues to evolve — improving speed, scalability and usability without abandoning its core principles.

| 7 |  ⚡ ZCASH INFRASTRUCTURE IS GETTING SIMPLER
The Zcash Foundation has revealed an important new capability for Zebra, its independent Rust-based Zcash node implementation.
🔗 Zebra can now serve light wallets directly — without requiring a separate lightwalletd server in between.
Until now, light wallets typically relied on an additional infrastructure layer to communicate efficiently with the Zcash network.
Removing that dependency could mean:
⚡ Simpler Zcash infrastructure
🛠 Fewer components for operators to maintain
🔗 More direct interaction between wallets and Zebra nodes
🌐 A cleaner foundation for future wallet infrastructure
The development comes as part of the Foundation's latest engineering work following the activation of NU6.3 “Ironwood” on mainnet.
At the same time, Zebra 6.3.0 has been released as a recommended security update, resolving four security advisories related to block synchronization and peer scoring.
Zcash development isn't slowing down after Ironwood.
The infrastructure underneath private money continues to evolve.

| 8 |  🚨 BARRY SILBERT: ZCASH COULD REACH $8,000
Digital Currency Group founder and Grayscale Chairman Barry Silbert has reportedly outlined an extremely bullish long-term case for $ZEC.
Speaking during an event at YZi Labs in Bhutan, Silbert suggested that Zcash could eventually reach roughly 10% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization — implying a ZEC price around $8,000.
His thesis centers on Zcash combining Bitcoin-like monetary properties with significantly stronger privacy capabilities.
Silbert also took a shot at memecoins, describing them as essentially gambling — and reportedly joked that if you're going to speculate, “the best choice is to buy ZEC.”
An $8,000 ZEC would represent an entirely different valuation regime for Zcash.
The bigger question:
Can privacy become valuable enough for Zcash to capture 10% of Bitcoin’s market cap? 🛡️
Silbert’s comments represent his personal view, not an official Grayscale price target or financial advice.

| 9 |  🔐 DID YOU KNOW?
ZCASH PRIVACY GOES BEYOND THE BLOCKCHAIN
Zcash can hide the sender, receiver and transaction amount.
But there is another layer of privacy that matters:
Your network connection.
When a wallet broadcasts a transaction through infrastructure such as an indexer, network metadata — including a user's IP address — can potentially reveal information that never appears on the blockchain itself.
That's why developers in the Zcash ecosystem are working on zero-indexer.
The project is designed to prevent infrastructure operators and outside observers from easily linking:
🌐 Your IP address
↕️ Your wallet activity
🔒 Your shielded transactions
It uses a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to process sensitive requests inside an isolated environment.
The important lesson:
Blockchain privacy and network privacy are not the same thing.
A truly private financial system needs to protect both.
And Zcash developers are actively working on exactly that.

| 11 |  💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Zcash officially launched on October 28, 2016 — but its roots go back even further.
The technology evolved from Zerocoin → Zerocash → Zcash, built around one powerful idea:
Can digital money be verified without exposing its users’ financial history?
The result was one of the earliest cryptocurrencies to bring zero-knowledge proofs to real-world blockchain payments.
🔐 Verify the transaction. Protect the information.

| 12 |  ⛏️ INSTITUTIONAL CAPITAL IS MOVING INTO ZCASH MINING
While much of the attention around Zcash is currently focused on price, another major development is happening underneath the surface.
Cypherpunk Technologies has launched what it describes as the world's largest Zcash mining fleet.
The deployment represents approximately:
⚡ 4.2 GSol/s of Equihash hashrate
🌐 ~18% of the Zcash network hashrate at launch
💰 $33.33 million transaction
🇺🇸 Mining infrastructure located across the United States
This matters because mining isn't simply about producing new ZEC.
Proof-of-Work miners provide the computational security behind the Zcash network, validate blocks and make attacks on the blockchain increasingly expensive.
The development also shows something important:
Institutional exposure to Zcash is expanding beyond simply buying and holding ZEC.
Capital is now being deployed directly into the infrastructure securing the network.
As interest in Zcash grows, the ecosystem behind it is growing too.

| 13 |  🚨 ZCASH HOLDERS ARE VOTING ON THE FUTURE OF ZEC
The NU7 Coinholder Vote begins today, giving eligible shielded ZEC holders a voice on several potentially important changes to the Zcash protocol.
Key topics include:
⚡ Potential changes to Zcash block times
💰 A possible redesign of ZEC issuance
🔒 The future of legacy transaction formats
🛠️ Decisions around features proposed for NU7
One of the biggest questions concerns Zcash's monetary policy — including whether ZEC should keep its traditional halving-based issuance model or potentially transition toward a smoother declining issuance curve.
The vote follows the recent NU6.3 / Ironwood network upgrade, making this an important period for Zcash development and governance.
Zcash isn't standing still.
The network is evolving — and its community is helping shape what comes next.

| 14 |  ⚡ ZCASH MINING REVENUE CRUSHES BITCOIN
$ZEC’s rally has dramatically changed the economics of Zcash mining.
According to estimates reported by TheEnergyMag, an Antminer Z15 Pro mining Zcash currently generates around $727.30 in gross revenue per MWh of electricity.
For comparison:
⚡ Zcash — Z15 Pro: $727.30/MWh
🖥️ AI/HPC estimate: $222.73/MWh
₿ Bitcoin — S23 Pro: $162.11/MWh
₿ Bitcoin — S21 Pro: $102.67/MWh
That means Zcash is currently generating roughly 4.5× more gross revenue per MWh than Bitcoin mining with an S23 Pro — and around 3.3× the estimated revenue of AI/HPC computing.
Important: this is gross revenue, not net profit. Electricity prices, hardware costs, maintenance, hosting and other operating expenses are not included.
Still, the gap is remarkable — and shows just how dramatically the recent rise in $ZEC has changed mining economics. ⚡
