Starkware Co-Founder Links ZEC Surge to Bitcoin's Rigidity

Starkware co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson, developer of Ethereum layer-2 Starknet, said on X that the recent surge in Zcash (ZEC) is partly due to concerns over Bitcoin being overly rigid. He added, 'While some Bitcoin supporters may not like this statement, I am someone who loves and deeply cares about Bitcoin.' Ben-Sasson previously served as a founding scientist for the Zcash project. As of CoinMarketCap data, ZEC is trading at $1,464.10, up 9.27%.
