Lo and behold, the crypto kingdom has been thrown into chaos as Zcash (ZEC), that mischievous privacy token, now reigns supreme atop Coinbase’s search throne! Thor Torrens, a former U.S. advisor and Zcash’s court jester (or so he claims), flaunted this revelation in a tweet, accompanied by a screenshot that might as well be the Holy Grail of crypto trends. 🦄📜
Per Torrens’ evidence (a screenshot so sacred it could start a cult), Zcash’s search frenzy hit 52,000, while BTC and XRP-those once-proud titans-stumbled to 41,000 and 39,000, respectively. One might say the masses are trading wisdom for whimsy. 🤡
🚨BREAKING: Zcash is the most searched coin on coinbase
– Thor Torrens (@ThorTorrens) November 17, 2025
This, dear reader, has deposed the once-mighty XRP, which briefly wore the crown in October when the U.S. spot ETF rumors danced like fireflies in the crypto night. But alas, glory is fleeting-even for digital assets. 🕯️
Since September, Zcash has risen like a satanic soufflé, briefly pausing its ascent after hitting $744 on Nov. 7 before resuming its villainous climb. In five days, it defied the crumbling crypto market, gaining ground while others wept into their keyboards. 💻😭
Zcash’s year-to-date surge? A staggering 1,498%! It trades at $691, perched comfortably as the 12th-largest cryptocurrency, boasting a market cap of $11.3 billion. One might call it the “David of decentralization”… if David had a private jet and a sense of irony. ✈️
Zcash to receive major upgrade
Mark your calendars (or witch’s cauldrons) for Nov. 24, when Zcash’s NU6.1 upgrade-a grand masquerade of progress-shall activate at block height 3,146,400. Electric Coin Co. and the Zcash Foundation, those modern-day alchemists, have conjured a funding model so convoluted, even Kafka would nod in approval. 🧙♂️
This upgrade grants the community and coin holders the joyous task of deciding whether to bestow grants upon themselves. Eight percent of block rewards go to the ZCG for “community-driven” grants, while 12% fund a mysterious vault controlled by… well, the coin holders. One can only imagine the bureaucracy. 📜
The Coinholder-Controlled Fund may either shower ecosystem participants with largesse or sleep like a baby. This fiscal fable shall persist until the third halving, giving us ample time to wonder if it’s genius or madness. Either way, it’s a party. 🎉
