SEC Closes Zcash Investigation With No Enforcement Action

The Zcash Foundation announced a major development: the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has formally concluded its investigation into Zcash with no enforcement action taken. This regulatory clearance sparked immediate market response, with ZEC trading volume surging nearly 30% over the past 24 hours.

The decision marks a significant moment for the privacy-focused cryptocurrency, signaling that regulators have not identified compliance violations that would warrant sanctions. For traders and holders, this outcome removes considerable regulatory uncertainty that had previously weighed on the asset.

The spike in trading activity reflects the market's positive reception to the news, as investors reassess ZEC's position within the broader regulatory landscape. This outcome could have ripple effects for how other privacy-centric projects navigate regulatory scrutiny.

ZEC-2,37%

Wait, did the SEC really let ZEC go? Is this a comeback for privacy coins, or just a smoke screen?

sec finally got out of the way... zec holding strong through the storm. that's what happens when your protocol actually checks the boxes instead of playing games with regulators. 30% volume spike is solid, not flashy, but it's the kind of move that sticks around.
