$ZEC is holding around $829 after briefly pushing above $880.
But the bigger story isn’t just the ETF narrative.
Ironwood has now absorbed roughly 3.6M ZEC, while only around 530K ZEC remains in the sealed Orchard pool. More than 85% of the Orchard supply has migrated through a public turnstile, making previously shielded supply increasingly verifiable without exposing individual users.
That matters because Zcash is being reevaluated on more than privacy alone. With Grayscale continuing to update its ETF filing, institutional access and stronger supply verification are becoming part of the same narrative.
For me, that’s the deeper catalyst behind this move.
ETF interest can bring the capital.
Ironwood can strengthen the trust.
Now I’m watching whether $ZEC can reclaim and hold the $880 area.

Coinworld News: Late on Monday evening, US stock index futures fluctuated slightly as investors tried to deal with the increasingly tense situation between Iran and the United States after going through a losing trade.

CoinWorld News: According to a statement from Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have cracked down on a cryptocurrency exchange network suspected of fraud. The suspects collected cash from customers through websites, Telegram, and offline exchange points under the guise of trading, but failed to transfer cryptocurrency or issue refunds as agreed, indefinitely delaying with "technical issues" as an excuse. Law enforcement conducted over 20 searches across 7 regions of Ukraine, seizing cash worth more than 20 million hryvnias (about $480k). The individuals involved are now facing charges of fraud. Local media reported that the network is suspected to be Money 24/7, which had previously been investigated for operating without a license and defaulting on customer funds, with an estimated amount of around $10 million.

CryptoWorld News reports that, regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent multiple claims that Syria “can help handle the Hezbollah issue in Lebanon,” Syrian Interim Government President Bashar, in a media interview on the 21st, publicly denied that Syria is seeking military intervention in Lebanon and urged the United States to “stop the war.” Trump did not specify what way he hopes Syria would intervene in the Lebanon situation, but some media speculate that Syrian forces may be deployed to areas in southern Lebanon. Bashar denied this on the 21st in an interview with a television station in the United Arab Emirates. Bashar said Trump’s related remarks were “misread as Syria invading Lebanon tomorrow.” He said Syria is very concerned about the situation in Lebanon, and Lebanon’s security and stability are closely linked to the situation there. Syria “has various tools to exert a positive influence within Lebanon, but this largely depends on whether the Lebanese side agrees.”

The outside world is concerned that the excessive turnover in the foundation's leadership could impact its future governance.

CryptoWorld News reports that, in an Axios interview program, Trump discussed several hot-button issues. (Regarding the Iran war) He said that this could trigger a global Great Depression, and added that his deal prevented this fate. On whether actions toward Cuba would be as swift as those toward Venezuela, Trump said, “It’s possible. These places are very close. By comparison, Iran is far away… Venezuela is relatively close, and Cuba is even right next door.” Regarding Israel, Trump said, “If it weren’t for me, Israel wouldn’t exist today, because I terminated Obama’s deal—the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA)—which was a pathway to nuclear weapons.” When discussing the issue of the post-war balance of power, Trump said, “There are no limits.” “I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I know theoretically there are, but in practice, there are no limits.”
