The retreat snapped a streak of consecutive daily double-digit gains and coincided with Grayscale\u2019s announcement of a 3-for-1 share split for its Zcash ETF.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the steep decline, ZEC later appeared to find support above $1,440, leaving it with a daily loss of approximately 5%. While the price drop dragged ZEC\u2019s market capitalization back under $25 billion, the privacy coin was still up 31% over seven days, making it <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/zec-xmr-dash-lead-privacy-coin-rally-as-bitcoin-reaches-120k\/\">one of the best-performing digital assets<\/a> during the period.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Coingecko data indicates <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/zcashs-19x-rally-may-have-more-room-as-grayscale-eyes-bitcoin-share\/\">ZEC is up more than 200%<\/a> from its June 22 price of $445 and over 8,800% since hitting an all-time low of $16.04 on July 4, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by Bitcoin.com News, Grayscale recently said it will adjust the share structure of its Zcash ETF, a move that effectively lowers the ETF\u2019s per-share price without changing total investor value. The adjustment, which takes effect Sept. 30, comes just weeks after Grayscale launched the ETF, giving investors exposure to a privacy coin that has drawn increased attention this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/grayscales-zcash-etf-begins-trading-on-nyse-arca-with-spot-zec\/\">Since its Aug. 25 launch<\/a>, the ETF has recorded net outflows only twice, while its <a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-zec-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">net assets surged to $914 million by Sept. 18<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond ETF-driven demand, the privacy-focused token is drawing strong retail inflows as momentum builds, spurred by aggressive endorsement from high-profile figures across the cryptocurrency sector.<\/p>\n<p>Social media chatter on X has amplified the rally, with traders describing ZEC\u2019s ascent as a \u201creflexive loop\u201d that could drive long-term price targets even higher. However, social analytics data from Santiment showed a 6.8-fold spike in ZEC mentions on X ahead of the pullback, raising questions among market observers about whether part of the recent online buzz was artificially generated.<\/p>\n<h2>Governance Flashpoint over the Zcash Development Fund<\/h2>\n<p>Amid the excitement of the price rally, attention has shifted to a deeper debate over ZEC\u2019s governance. At the center of the dispute is how the project will fund protocol development, distribute organizational power, and balance token-holder voting against community consensus.<\/p>\n<p>The primary flashpoint stems from discussions surrounding the Zcash Development Fund, which allocates a portion of block rewards to protocol development. Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi recently proposed winding down the Dev Fund when its current structure expires in 2028. Qureshi argued that the approximately $95 million balance is sufficient to finish remaining protocol work, warning that allowing the treasury to exceed $100 million risks escalating political friction over grant allocations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_849195\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-849195\" style=\"width:1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-849195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">X: Matt Huang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the other hand, venture capital figures, including Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang, argued that ongoing development funding is essential to prepare Zcash for long-term technological threats, such as advances in quantum computing and AI surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>Another investor, Naval Ravikant, rejects the premise of off-chain social governance and perpetual development levies. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/naval\/status\/2100425310894469447\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reply to Huang<\/a>, the AngelList co-founder said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPoint two is akin to saying that shareholders shouldn\u2019t control a corporation.
