Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, said he supports projections that place the price of Zcash (ZEC) significantly above current levels. The thesis is tied to the asset’s potential to capture market share from global offshore wealth and gold.
Winklevoss Capital carried out a restructuring plan to consolidate its position in the privacy coin through Cypherpunk Technologies. Cypherpunk Technologies is listed on the United States stock market and now operates as a ZEC treasury, holding more than 303,000 units of ZEC on its balance sheet.
Cypherpunk Technologies’ Chief Investment Officer, Will McEvoy, presented a valuation model suggesting Zcash could undergo a substantial revaluation. Under the scenario described, if the protocol captures 1% of the offshore wealth market or 10% of Bitcoin’s current capitalization, the price per ZEC unit could move toward the $9,700 range.
McEvoy’s outlook was optimistic, but market data over the last 24 hours points to a more moderate near-term picture. ZEC has risen about 70% over the past week, yet it remains 22% below its six-month high of $735.
The transition from Leap Therapeutics to Cypherpunk Technologies enabled the creation of a regulated investment vehicle designed to accumulate the asset. Financial records cited in the article indicate that the average purchase price for the firm’s treasury is $332.83, which corresponds to a 69% gain for the company at the close of the current report.
Data from Santiment suggests that total transparency on blockchains could be becoming a risk factor for large capital in 2026. The source attributes the shift to the growing use of AI-driven surveillance tools and stricter KYC regulations, which it says has increased interest in protocols offering mathematical data protection.
The company’s narrative positions Zcash as a scarcity alternative similar to Bitcoin, but with enhanced privacy features. However, industry analysts highlighted that achieving the projected price levels depends on market belief in the value of anonymity beyond what is currently reflected in exchange pricing.
The crypto community is awaiting the publication of Cypherpunk Technologies’ second-quarter financial statements. The report is expected to indicate whether the firm continues its accumulation strategy or adjusts its exposure in response to volatility in the privacy-asset market.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
