Governance Deadlock Triggers 'Defection': Zcash Core Team Collectively Departs to Start New Venture

In early 2026, Zcash’s core development team, the Electric Coin Company (ECC), collectively resigned following a governance crisis with Bootstrap, the nonprofit overseeing Zcash’s development. ECC CEO Josh Swihart described the departure as a “constructive discharge,” accusing Bootstrap of creating an unworkable environment and deviating from Zcash’s mission. The conflict centered on the proposed privatization of Zashi, Zcash’s flagship mobile wallet. ECC advocated for a commercial approach to accelerate development, while Bootstrap, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, opposed it due to legal risks and fiduciary obligations to protect public assets. The former ECC team announced a new company and a replacement wallet named cashZ, pledging to continue Zcash protocol development without issuing a new token. They aim to uphold Zcash’s privacy-focused ethos under a more flexible commercial structure. Zcash co-founder Zooko Wilcox remained neutral, while the Zcash Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to the protocol’s decentralization, assuring users that network integrity remains unaffected. The incident highlights ongoing tension between nonprofit governance and commercial innovation in crypto.

TAO, NEAR, and Top AI Cryptos Mark Gains Amid Market Turbulence

Top AI cryptocurrencies, including TAO and NEAR, posted significant gains amid broader market uncertainty. TAO surged 6.35% in 24 hours to $285.77, and rose 18.72% over the week. NEAR saw a slight daily dip but gained 3.16% weekly. Other AI tokens like ICP, RENDER, and FIL also advanced. TAO’s rally may be linked to Grayscale filing for a U.S. Bittensor ETF. The surge across AI cryptos is partly attributed to Intel’s unveiling of next-gen AI PC processors, set for release in early 2026. This uptick defies the generally flat or negative movement of major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH. Broader market conditions remain influenced by macroeconomic factors and upcoming inflation data.

JPMorgan to Expand JPM Coin Across Blockchains Starting With Canton

JPMorgan is expanding its JPM Coin deposit token to multiple blockchain networks, starting with the Canton Network, as part of a broader strategy to build an interoperable digital money system. JPM Coin represents U.S. dollar deposits held at the bank and is currently operational on Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, Base. The expansion aims to enable near-instant value transfers across financial markets in a secure, regulated environment. Access is restricted to whitelisted institutional wallets to ensure compliance. Unlike JPMorgan’s private Kinaxis network—which supports multi-currency cross-border payments for clients like Siemens—JPM Coin operates entirely on public blockchain infrastructure, with all transactions recorded on-chain.
