Zcash's native token ZEC dropped 48.4% to $272.79 on Binance after a critical soundness bug was found in its Orchard shielded pool, leading to an emergency soft fork and disabling the pool temporarily. This caused $81.91 million in liquidations within 24 hours, mostly from long positions losing $70.55 million. Prominent investor Arthur Hayes sold his entire ZEC holdings following the exploit news, signaling a loss of confidence. A whale holding $174 million in ZEC saw its value drop by over $70 million in a day. The incident highlights how quickly protocol vulnerabilities can disrupt crypto markets and erode investor trust.
