RUMOR: PlayStation is seriously looking at adding $ZEC as a privacy payment option to PSN by June, 2026!

Tangem @Tangem · 2026-01-22T15:11:02+00:00

Excited to partner with @Zebec_HQ for our upcoming co-branded wallet & football campaign Stay tuned.

"If you had the ETH and you thought to yourself: what I want is to have my ETH over in this new wallet that's unlinked." You would think: "What I want is to convert half of my ETH into ZEC and hold it in ZEC." - @zooko shilling @Zcash on Bankless Zcash Founder on Privacy, AI,

Will McEvoy @will__mcevoy · 2026-01-22T15:01:47+00:00

Arjun brings real conviction around privacy and an intellectually rigorous perspective to our team. Excited to work with him as we accelerate Zcash adoption and privacy innovation.

LATEST: Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have donated 3,221 ZEC, worth $1.18 million, to Shielded Labs to fund independent Zcash protocol development.

Bankless @Bankless · 2026-01-22T14:17:38+00:00

The privacy trade has been a rare bright spot amid crypto market stagnation. ZEC's September run reached a nine-year high in November, 28x above its 1y low, before tanking when the Zcash core dev team announced they were leaving over a governance dispute. XMR has since taken

aescobar @aescobarindo · 2026-01-22T01:39:56+00:00

In the last 6 hours, 244 $ZEC has been supplied as collateral on @rhea_finance Interestingly, this was done via a Zcash shielded transfer (no one knows who owns this $ZEC). Possibly using a passkey setup (no wallet required). Total: 18,790 $ZEC supplied as collateral. DeFi

Vik Sharɱa @vikrantnyc · 2026-01-22T17:41:06+00:00

Watch me batch two @zcashme send transactions to @yoshi_v1 and @bitlarrain into one transaction in @cakewallet

Vik Sharɱa @vikrantnyc · 2026-01-22T15:47:33+00:00

Version 5.8.0 of @cakewallet is rolling out on iOS and Android: Added support for zcash.me Birdpay now supports zcash (see my pinned tweet) Arbitrum is now in Cake! Jupiter Dex for Solana! Trade your meme coins and stocks @xstocksfi ! We ain't lazy!

Eric Van Tassel (Not a Financial Advisor!) @XRPathologist · 2026-01-22T14:27:59+00:00

Here’s why I’m calling the #ZEC situation uncertain, not emotional. The entire ECC development team resigned after a governance dispute. That’s not noise. Since then, we’ve heard intentions but not concrete answers. A new dev company has been talked about, but there’s no

Nextiscrypto @nextiscrypto · 2026-01-22T12:46:22+00:00

My part of Zcash giveaway going out this weekend. 10 people get 0.1 ZEC from me, and 10 more get 0.1 ZEC from @vikrantnyc . If you want in, make sure you’ve dropped your $ZEC address under vik’s post

Eric Van Tassel (Not a Financial Advisor!) @XRPathologist · 2026-01-22T17:27:55+00:00

I'm seeing this consolidation structure for #ZEC. Due to the overall trend, this structure would lean towards a bear flag continuation.

mine Zcash ᙇ @mineZcash · 2026-01-22T10:34:55+00:00

Zcash fixes this. Zcashs privacy features are already partially quantum resistant and fully quantum resistant is on the roadmap.

大宇 @BTCdayu · 2026-01-22T03:10:09+00:00

Naval is acquiring Farcaster! From stacking ZEC to acquiring this decentralized version of Twitter (and more than that). It looks like he’s betting on the decentralized world— a realm distinct from today’s Bitcoin, ETH, and Twitter.

Sooraj Sathyanarayanan @iAnonymous3000 · 2026-01-22T13:59:33+00:00

Bitcoin didn’t solve financial privacy. Every transaction on a transparent ledger is permanently visible to anyone. @Zcash proved you can have both: verifiable scarcity with cryptographic privacy. There’s no freedom without privacy.

Nate ⓩ @nate_zec · 2026-01-22T16:18:30+00:00

There’s great debate in Zcash these days about the pace and scope of change. More change has risks and rewards. Less change also has risks and rewards. What is the perfect balance?

sacha @sacha · 2026-01-22T18:38:31+00:00

zcash will succeed because it has to succeed there is no alternative

Yaki @Yaki_fomoArt · 2026-01-22T12:11:59+00:00

$XMR / $ZEC = anonymity-first, fighting regulators by living outside the system $ROSE = smart privacy, trying to be the bridge where privacy + compliance can coexist the core tech angle is confidential compute. Sapphire is their confidential EVM runtime, built around TEEs. so

Guy @Credib1eGuy · 2026-01-22T14:20:34+00:00

If we are going to require every meta to be intrinsically valuable We are never going to have a meta ever again Just buy $BTC $ZEC $HYPE if that’s the case and log off

Z-one @asssd_fc · 2026-01-22T07:51:30+00:00

In addition to holding ZEC for the long term, I also bought 1m HYPE at $22. With the rise of the HIP3 ecosystem, I believe HYPE value rerating has only just begun, and its price has the potential to reach $1000 in the future.

Renksi @renksi · 2026-01-22T12:12:00+00:00

you have to hold one privacy token for the rest of 2026 what's your pick $XMR $ZEC $NIGHT $DASH $BDX

Pacu @thecodebuffet · 2026-01-22T15:43:33+00:00

Zcash needs to make more extensive use of its testnet. Try ZSAs for quite a while, build the infrastructure, the use cases and then evaluate their inclusion on mainnet. Saying “no” now is just an uninformed decision.

Zcash Foundation @ZcashFoundation · 2026-01-22T22:28:40+00:00

I've been away for a month, what's going on with Zcash? Is it still better than Bitcoin?

Privacy Coins Aren’t Printing ATHs Anymore According to CryptoRank data, the privacy coins tag shows that around 78% of the coins are down, and even the most recent runners are in the red: • $XMR -32% • $DASH -21% • $DCR -19% • $ZEC -17% • $NIGHT -9% Will we see another

Creating wealth isnt complicated. Buy Zcash. Hold $ZEC for a decade. Thats it.

Muroⓩ @MuroGEO · 2026-01-22T19:46:20+00:00

Vik, you added Zcash to Cake Wallet after it had already done a 10x.. and it was good for your business. Anyway, we’re all thankful for that, and Zcashers have admitted it multiple times... But don’t act like you saved Zcash from death.

yoshi @yoshi_v1 · 2026-01-22T22:07:35+00:00

ZEC is maintaining a solid position at $366 USD currently. in a crypto landscape plagued by corruption, true privacy stands as the ultimate edge. who's joining me in accumulating more?

Rhea Finance @rhea_finance · 2026-01-22T15:06:33+00:00

If you don’t think $ZEC is going to $10k you’re fucking retarded.

Let’s make Zcash stronger. Nice to see so many great ideas.

« added support for @zcashme » bullish on ZEC ecosystem! mine is zcash.me/yoshi instead of a long address, with zcashme you can get your «ZEC username» to share instead of sharing a long address and making fault.

Rhea Finance @rhea_finance · 2026-01-22T03:24:43+00:00

Zebastian ◘ @bitlarrain · 2026-01-22T00:09:14+00:00

Worth highlighting the effort behind Cake Wallet integrating Zcash. Quiet, yet decisive, progress like this is what actually moves private money forward. Kudos to @cakewallet and all the silent builders decentralizing the protocol. $ZEC

Uche @uche2v · 2026-01-22T08:05:33+00:00

Privacy is the next most important topic on the blockchain right now. With @Zcash 's battle-tested privacy and @Starknet 's unrivalled scaling solutions, we might finally have a shot at privacy that's scaled beyond transfer of value. Once again, a big shout-out to @Creatorfi_ for

I think that is the biggest push here : privacy protects users from censorship, and monitoring by governments or threat actors. Its not really your money , if it isn't private. Encrypt the money. Starknet. Zcash. Near Intents
