🚨 BREAKING: Privacy coin $ZEC just crashed over 50% in 24 hours, erasing more than $5 BILLION in market value.
The reason?
A critical flaw hidden inside Zcash's Orchard privacy pool since May 2022 reportedly allowed the creation of counterfeit ZEC. The bug survived multiple security audits and remained undiscovered for nearly 4 years.
Security researcher Taylor Hornby allegedly used Claude Opus 4.8 to build a proof-of-concept that successfully generated fake ZEC in local testing.
The vulnerability was patched on June 2, but here's the problem:
Because of Zcash's privacy architecture, nobody can prove whether fake coins were secretly minted before the fix.
Unlike $BTC where the entire supply can be independently verified, Zcash's shielded design makes a full supply audit impossible.
The team says no counterfeit ZEC was ever created.
The market isn't waiting for proof.
Fear alone is triggering a massive selloff.
Imagine discovering that a casino's chips could have been secretly duplicated for years — but nobody can tell which chips are real.
That's the concern investors are pricing in right now.
Shielded Labs is now exploring a network upgrade that would allow anyone to verify Zcash's total supply.
