Market sentiment around Zcash (ZEC) resembles bitcoin in 2019, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss (타일러 윙클보스) said, as Zcash posts a sharp rebound. Bitcoin rose from about $3,693 on Jan. 1, 2019 to about $13,000 by late June before ending 2020 around $7,195, CoinGecko data showed. Zcash drew renewed attention in 2026 after a drop in February and a rally from May through September, while Gemini broadened support including custody, addresses and node infrastructure.

After the U.S. Senate blocked the digital asset market-structure bill known as the Clarity Act, the crypto industry may sharply expand political spending ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. Industry political action committees appear to be focusing on election strategy, including plans by the Coinbase- and Ripple Labs-backed Fairshake. The vote is seen as pivotal for the 2027 legislative environment, although immediate post-vote spending disclosures were not confirmed.
