Hackers increasingly use Zcash to launder stolen crypto, raising regulatory concerns.

Hackers are moving stolen cryptocurrency funds from recent attacks, including Ledger and Bitget exploits, into Zcash shielded pools to hide their tracks. This trend highlights Zcash's growing use as a privacy tool for laundering, similar to Monero, which has faced regulatory bans due to criminal use. The amount of Zcash in shielded pools has risen 16% since July, making stolen funds harder to trace and increasing regulatory scrutiny. Market sentiment for Zcash has turned negative amid fears of tighter regulations and potential price drops below $1000.
