No enforcement action.
This is huge.
For two years — since August 2023 — the Zcash Foundation lived under regulatory uncertainty. Every investor wondering if the coin would face enforcement.
That uncertainty just ended.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission formally notified the Zcash Foundation it would not pursue enforcement action. The investigation is closed.
ZEC is up 2.94% today.
But the real story is not the price move.
The real story is the institutional positioning that just began.
Cypherpunk Technologies — a Nasdaq-listed company — now holds 314,185 ZEC. That is 1.88% of all circulating supply. They also invested $5 million directly into Zcash Open Development Labs (ZODL).
This is institutional backing. Real money. Real conviction.
