Winklevoss-Backed Zcash Treasury Firm Rebrands to Cypherpunk Technologies
Leap Therapeutics announced a corporate rebrand to Cypherpunk Technologies Inc. and said it will pivot away from biotech toward digital-asset management. Backed by Winklevoss-linked capital, the newly positioned company is launching as a Zcash treasury manager, signaling an institutional actor stepping into the privacy-coin ecosystem and aligning its strategy with ZEC funding and treasury operations.
The shift matters because a dedicated treasury company can influence development funding, grant flows, and governance for Zcash, potentially accelerating protocol upgrades or ecosystem projects. Market watchers should look for formal treasury disclosures, governance proposals, and any regulatory filings that clarify how Cypherpunk will operate and interact with Zcash stakeholders. The development underscores renewed institutional interest in privacy-focused crypto assets and could affect ZEC market dynamics.
