Former Electric Coin Company CEO Josh Swihart and his team have unveiled a new Zcash wallet called 'cashZ' following their departure from ECC. The move signals a strategic shift toward scaling Zcash and returning to its cypherpunk origins.

"We need to scale Zcash to billions of users," Swihart stated in a tweet announcing the formation of a new startup. The team aims to operate with greater agility, positioning Zcash as a competitor to bitcoin and Ethereum.

The 'cashZ' wallet, built on the Zashi platform, promises seamless migration for existing users. Over 3,800 registrations have already been recorded ahead of its official launch in coming weeks.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position.

All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
