✨After the brilliant success of Q4 2025 in token price reaching $ZEC , it can be said that Zcash is one of the few projects that made it into the top price gainers of the harsh year 2025. The joy didn't last long, as on January 7th, the entire Electric Coin Company (ECC) development team suddenly "packed their bags and left." A structural governance crisis began to emerge, with cracks forming. While restructuring isn't wrong, doing it four months after a strong price surge caused a major shock to investor confidence.
🤡"However, the team's departure is simply about seeking new 'promised lands' for the Zcash project. This move aims to redirect the talented team toward developing satellite products around Zcash. This strategic step helps ZEC redefine its position and pave the way for growth, instead of resting on past successes." This is the typical tone of those shill coin promoters.
💩In reality, Josh Swihart's social media post on X on January 8th revealed a very negative atmosphere within Zcash itself. The team doesn't seem to have left voluntarily but was effectively pushed out due to toxic governance actions. The rift has become clearly uncontrollable, with team members now accusing each other publicly on social media.
🍕Zcash's price is highly likely to break below fragile support levels like investor confidence if timely corrections aren't made.
