Cypherpunk Technologies, formerly known as Leap Therapeutics, has made a significant move to reshape its corporate direction by creating a $50 million

This effort is supported by a $58.88 million private funding round led by Winklevoss Capital. Cypherpunk Technologies intends to keep acquiring ZEC until it holds at least 5% of the total supply, demonstrating a strong, long-term belief in the privacy-centric cryptocurrency.

Douglas E. Onsi, who serves as CEO of

Cypherpunk Technologies

, stated that building this treasury is a deliberate strategy to enhance long-term value for shareholders by fostering Zcash’s advancement. The company will soon be listed on Nasdaq with the ticker

toward digital assets, particularly as interest in privacy-focused blockchain technologies grows.

Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini’s co-founder, referred to Zcash as “encrypted
