Zcash outlook after SEC ends two-and-a-half-year probe with no enforcement action

On January 14, 2026, the Zcash Foundation said the SEC had completed a two-and-a-half-year review without planning any enforcement action, easing regulatory uncertainty around the privacy-focused altcoin. The news coincided with a 9% daily price jump for Zcash and renewed attention on a developing bull flag pattern, though questions remain over internal turmoil following the departure of Electric Coin Company’s core team.
