Zcash faces trader backlash over adult industry outreach grant promoting private payments.

Zcash's community grant supporting outreach at adult industry events sparked criticism from some traders who opposed the association, leading to increased short positions in ZEC. The $550,000 program, approved in August, aims to promote private payments and Zcash adoption among underserved groups like adult industry workers who face banking challenges. Despite backlash, supporters argue the initiative helps introduce financial privacy to new users and expands Zcash's real-world use. The grant funds events, workshops, and demonstrations, with monthly progress reports required to track impact and spending.
