Zcash AI (ZEC)

Wu reported that AI company Anthropic announced in the early hours of today the launch of its first publicly available Mythos-level AI model, Claude Fable 5, which outperformed competing models in several benchmark tests spanning software engineering and scientific research. Anthropic had previously expressed concerns about the destructive potential of such a model (it once wrote a Windows kernel exploit in 31 minutes). Fable 5 incorporates an automatic sharding safety mechanism: when the system encounters high-risk queries such as network attacks, biological, chemical, or model distillation requests, it automatically redirects the request to the older, lower-capacity Claude Opus 4.8 (which previously helped uncover a significant hidden vulnerability in Zcash Orchard). This has sparked market worries that cutting-edge AI models could accelerate the discovery or creation of vulnerabilities in privacy coins, smart contracts, and DeFi, benefiting AI audits but posing a severe challenge to unaudited code. https://t.co/wZN1pRpYLy

Garrett Jin Couldn't Stay Away From ZEC... But This Time He's Betting on the Upside

Well, that didn't take long.

After banking an $11.24 million profit on his previous ZEC short, Garrett Jin is back in the trade , except this time he's completely switched sides.

Instead of betting against ZEC, he's now betting on a rebound.

Garrett has opened a 2x leveraged long on 27,723 ZEC, a position worth roughly $11.9 million. So far, the market hasn't been kind to the new trade, with the position already showing an unrealized loss of around $750,000. But compared to his Bitcoin position, that's barely the headline.

He's still holding his massive 1,270 $BTC long, using 5x leverage, and the drawdown there is getting painful. The position is currently sitting on an unrealized loss of approximately $18.34 million.

Despite taking heat on both positions, Garrett isn't reducing risk. If anything, he's increasing it by adding fresh long exposure through $ZEC while continuing to hold one of the largest BTC longs being tracked on-chain.

Most traders would probably be looking for an exit. Garrett is still pressing the long button. Whether that's conviction or stubbornness... the market will decide soon enough.
