Ah, the Zcash Foundation, that ever-steadfast bastion of optimism! They stand tall, proclaiming their independence from any meddlesome third party, despite whispers in the digital wind suggesting otherwise. “Fear not!” they declare, as if providing a bowl of warm soup to a shivering child. βNo single contributor, team, or organization controls Zcash! Resilience is our middle name!β (Or at least, we hope it is.)
Yet, as the winds of change howl, one cannot help but notice a peculiar decline in development activity-a veritable ghost town since 2021, according to the learned analysts at Santiment. The GitHub events have dwindled like autumn leaves in an empty park, coinciding with reports of core developers leaving as if chased by a rabid dog.
Then, on January 7, 2026, came the grand exodus: the entire Electric Coin Company team, led by the valiant Josh Swihart and the clever Chelsea Komlo, resigned in a flurry of internal governance disputes. One can only imagine the dramatic flair of their departure-perhaps a slow-motion march out the door, papers flying, hearts heavy.
In light of this, the Zcash Foundation, with all the earnestness of a schoolteacher trying to calm a classroom of unruly children, urged the community to discern between the whims of a single entity and the steadfast nature of the network. “Fear not, dear friends! We are resilient!” they echoed, perhaps a tad too loudly.
Whatβs Next for ZEC Price? The Crystal Ball Gazing Begins!
As the plot thickens, selling pressure on ZEC has increased dramatically, like a soap opera cliffhanger. On Thursday, the price plummeted over 18%-dipping below $400, before making a valiant leap back to $431, much like a cat that lands on its feet after a fall. What a rollercoaster ride for our dear ZEC!
After a spectacular bull run in 2025, fueled by the irresistible allure of privacy, the ZEC price now faces a tempest of short-term selling pressure. The departure of key developers raises eyebrows and concerns about crucial updates-like Halo 2, which sounds more like a dystopian sci-fi novel than a tech upgrade. Will they ever manage to pull it off?
$ZEC to $100
– Crypto Whale α΄ΎΚ³α΅ (@cryptowhalepro1) January 8, 2026
From the perspective of technical analysis, the altcoin appears to be forming a potential macro reversal pattern. However, it could all vanish like a puff of smoke if ZEC manages to rally above its previous all-time high. Good luck with that!
