ZCash Re-Brands Itself As Electric Coin Company

ZCash | Re-Brands | Electric Coin Company

The cryptocurrency company behind the creation of privacy coin ZCash has recently announced to rename their company from ZCash to Electric Coin Company. As per the official blog post, the company is ” changing the name for clarity.”

The actions have left the crypto community quite baffled as most believe that this might be a really bad idea on their part. However, the decision has been made and ZCash company is now Electric Coin Company. The post stated:

“Our legal name has always been the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company, LLC, and we’ve been calling ourselves the ‘Zcash Company.’ But, the company isn’t ‘Zcash.’ Zcash is the cryptocurrency we build and support, with the help of others in the community. Also, we aren’t the Zcash Foundation. The Foundation is a separate and independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization […] Only the name has changed. We are the same team, with the same mission: to empower everyone with economic freedom and opportunity. We developed and help steward Zcash.”

The Electric Coin Company

The rebranded company will support the development, usage, and adoption of ZCash as a for-profit company. The team includes a number of scientists, engineers, business executives, and others that are a part of the company. On the other hand, Zcash Foundation is a distinct organization that functions quite similar to a 501(3) non-profit corporation. Notably, both companies are focused on working towards promoting ZCash.
No changes will be made to ZCash, it will continue to trade like before. Furthermore, the coin will purportedly retain the ticker symbol ZEC.  As of now, the only real change is Zcash company is the name they’ll be referring themselves to which is the Electric Coin Company.
