Zcash Foundation Q1 Report: Total liquid assets reached approximately $36.7 million, with ZEC holdings exceeding 85,000 tokens.
PANews reported on May 19th that the Zcash Foundation released its Q1 2026 report, disclosing total liquid assets of approximately $36.7 million, including approximately $12.11 million in cash, 506,556 USDC, 85,412 ZEC (approximately $21.2 million), 41.8 BTC (approximately $2.85 million), and 12.02 ETH (approximately $25,000). The Zcash Foundation added that while the first quarter of this year saw changes in the Electric Coin Company development team and governance controversies, network operations were unaffected, and transactions and block production continued normally. Regarding regulation, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its investigation and taken no enforcement action, eliminating long-term regulatory uncertainty.
Zcash is nearing completion of its mathematical proof to prevent hidden issuance vulnerabilities; ZEC rises 12%.
According to Odaily Odaily, Zcash's native token ZEC rose more than 12% on Tuesday after the team responsible for developing its privacy pools said they were close to completing a mathematical proof to confirm that there was no undetectable forgery or over-issuance vulnerability in the latest Zcash shielded pools. This verification work is being carried out by Project Tachyon, targeting Zcash's upcoming Ironwood shielded pool. Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox stated that the project is on the verge of producing a mathematical proof, aiming to demonstrate that the latest Zcash privacy pool does not have undetectable proliferation vulnerabilities. This development stems from the disclosure last month of a serious forgery vulnerability in Zcash Orchard's shielded pool. At the time, this vulnerability caused market concerns that Zcash's privacy system might have undetectable hidden inflation risks, causing ZEC to fall by more than 40% within two days. Developers say that with the help of AI-assisted formal verification, proof work that might have previously taken years can now be compressed into weeks. This news pushed the ZEC back above $500, its highest level since early June. (The Block)
THORChain: Due to recent vulnerability disclosures in Zcash, the launch of ZEC will be delayed.
According to Mars Finance, on June 5th, THORChain's blog reported that ZEC is in THORChain's deployment queue. However, due to a recently disclosed vulnerability in Zcash that affects the normal use of existing patches by integrators, THORChain needs to complete a code modification to the Bifrost module before proceeding. The development team stated that the modification is minimal but must be completed before ZEC's deployment. Currently, Monero (XMR) is expected to launch at the end of this month, with ZEC following behind.
Zcash has fixed a vulnerability that allowed for the unlimited issuance of ZECs; due to the privacy pool feature, it's impossible to verify whether it has been previously exploited.
According to Mars Finance, Taylor Hornby discovered a critical forgery vulnerability in Zcash's Orchard liquidity pool on May 29, 2026. Hornby reported the vulnerability to the Zcash Open Development Lab, and a fix was completed on June 2nd through collaborative efforts. This vulnerability could be exploited to secretly create an unlimited number of counterfeit ZECs within Zcash Orchard. Due to Orchard's privacy features, it is cryptographically impossible to prove whether the vulnerability had been exploited before the fix. The vulnerability existed since Orchard's activation in May 2022 until an emergency fix was deployed on June 1, 2026. With the assistance of AI tools, Hornby wrote a complete exploit and generated an unlimited number of undetectable counterfeit ZECs in a local testing environment. Currently, Shielded Labs is collaborating with other Zcash developers to explore network upgrade proposals to allow anyone to verify the integrity of Zcash's supply.
ZEC broke through $500, rising nearly 20% in the past 24 hours.
PANews reported on June 15 that, according to Coingecko market data, Zcash (ZEC) has risen 19.8% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $507.86 per coin.
The founder of Grayscale's parent company DCG strongly supports ZEC: Price drops shouldn't be mocked; focusing on AI and quantum risks is more important.
On June 6th, PANews reported that Barry Silbert, founder and CEO of DCG (Grayscale's parent company), stated on the X platform that participants in the crypto market should not gloat over the decline in Zcash (ZEC) prices, but rather focus on improving their crypto assets' ability to withstand AI and quantum risks. He emphasized that instead of mocking the volatility of a single asset, it's better to learn risk management and technical safeguards to prepare for potential future market and technological shocks. Analysts believe that Silbert's comments highlight institutional focus on the long-term resilience and security of crypto assets, while reminding market participants not to focus solely on short-term price fluctuations and ignore potential systemic risks.
