Crypto investor Arthur Hayes said he sold his entire Zcash position following disclosure of the Orchard Pool vulnerability that could have enabled undetectable counterfeit ZEC creation. While he described exploitation as unlikely, he argued that the possibility cannot be cryptographically ruled out. The decision matters because Zcash’s value proposition is built on strong privacy guarantees and trust in its monetary supply. Hayes said the incident challenged his investment thesis, prompting a reassessment despite taking profits on the trade. He stated he remains open to rebuilding his position if future verification efforts restore confidence in Zcash’s supply integrity. Hayes added that he continues to hold Worldcoin (WLD) while monitoring developments across the privacy-focused crypto sector.
