SEC Clears Zcash Foundation, Driving 12% Surge in ZEC Price

The Zcash Foundation announced that the US SEC has concluded its investigation into the foundation without recommending any enforcement actions. This development marks a positive outcome for Zcash and has led to increased investor confidence.

  • Zcash received a subpoena from the SEC on August 31, 2023, as part of an inquiry into crypto asset offerings.
  • The foundation emphasized transparency and regulatory adherence in their response to the SEC's decision.
  • This news aligns with broader regulatory changes under the Trump administration, which saw similar cases against Uniswap, Coinbase, and Robinhood dropped last year.

ZEC Price Surge

  • Following the announcement, ZEC's price surged by 12%, reaching approximately $437.75.
  • This increase follows a recent dip to $363, marking a significant recovery.
  • Despite this, ZEC remains 86% below its all-time high of over $3,191.
