$ZEC in bearish zone possible cause recent upgrade !
• NU7 Network Upgrade (Activated Nov 5, 2026): • Reduced target block times from 75 seconds down to 25 seconds. • Disabled older Version 4 (v4) transactions. • Permanently locked or left inaccessible an estimated 12,224 ZEC (worth roughly $16 million) remaining in the legacy Sprout shielded pool that was not migrated before the cutoff. • Introduced a Network Sustainability Mechanism directing 60% of fees to miner rewards and continuing ecosystem governance shifts. • Ecosystem News: Institutional and ecosystem interest remains active—such as Grayscale's ongoing engagement and past $1M pledge to the Zcash ecosystem—even as short-term liquidations and post-upgrade adjustments pressure the price.
