The Winklevoss Brothers Donated More Than $1M in ZEC to Support Zcash Development

  • An independent developer in the Zcash Shielded Labs ecosystem received a $1.2 million donation in ZEC.
  • It was sent by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, long-time supporters of Zcash.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss donated 3,221 ZEC ($1.2 million at the time) to Shielded Labs. The funds will be used to further develop and scale the Zcash network. 

In particular, this includes the following initiatives:

  • Network Sustainability Mechanism. A mechanism for issuance, fee distribution, and coin burning to support the network’s long-term sustainability. It includes three core proposals, ZIP 233-235
  • Crosslink. A finality layer to unify the ecosystem and its liquidity
  • Dynamic Fees. A mechanism that adjusts fees dynamically depending on activity levels

In its release, Shielded Labs emphasized that the Winklevoss twins are long-time supporters of Zcash, both personally and through their crypto exchange, Gemini. Cameron explained it this way:

Tyler agreed, noting the contribution of independent developers to the ecosystem’s formation and growth. 

Shielded Labs, meanwhile, operates primarily on donations. The organization does not build standalone commercial products, does not receive grants from the blockchain development fund, and does not collect block processing fees. 

The company also noted that this is the Winklevosses’ second donation. The first was in 2023 and helped lay the foundation for the team working on Crosslink. 

The brothers also fund some politicians. In particular, donations from them were also received by the team of current U.S. President Donald Trump. 

Earlier, we covered the split within the Zcash project. The development team, including former Electric Coin Company CEO Josh Swihart, left the organization. Read more:

The post Microsoft Corp. $MSFT blue box area offers a buying opportunity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In today’s article, we’ll examine the recent performance of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory. We’ll review how the rally from the April 07, 2025 low unfolded as a 5-wave impulse followed by a 3-swing correction (ABC) and discuss our forecast for the next move. Let’s dive into the structure and expectations for this stock. Five wave impulse structure + ABC + WXY correction $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 9.04.2025 In the 8-hour Elliott Wave count from Sep 04, 2025, we saw that $MSFT completed a 5-wave impulsive cycle at red III. As expected, this initial wave prompted a pullback. We anticipated this pullback to unfold in 3 swings and find buyers in the equal legs area between $497.02 and $471.06 This setup aligns with a typical Elliott Wave correction pattern (ABC), in which the market pauses briefly before resuming its primary trend. $MSFT 8H Elliott Wave chart 7.14.2025 The update, 10 days later, shows the stock finding support from the equal legs area as predicted allowing traders to get risk free. The stock is expected to bounce towards 525 – 532 before deciding if the bounce is a connector or the next leg higher. A break into new ATHs will confirm the latter and can see it trade higher towards 570 – 593 area. Until then, traders should get risk free and protect their capital in case of a WXY double correction. Conclusion In conclusion, our Elliott Wave analysis of Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) suggested that it remains supported against April 07, 2025 lows and bounce from the blue box area. In the meantime, keep an eye out for any corrective pullbacks that may offer entry opportunities.
