DENVER, Colo., Nov 12, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- Breadth across the market is improving.
Cypherpunk Debuts: Leap Therapeutics (NASDAQ:LPTX) Rebrands, Goes All-In on Zcash Strategy
In one of today’s most unexpected pivots, Leap Therapeutics announced its rebrand to Cypherpunk Technologies (NASDAQ:CYPH) effective tomorrow, marking a full-scale entry into the digital-asset treasury space with a strategic focus on Zcash (ZEC).
The company confirmed the purchase of 203,775.27 ZEC at an average price of $245.37, deploying $50 million of proceeds from its recent $58.9 million private placement led by Winklevoss Capital.
With the ticker change to CYPH set for Thursday’s open, today’s session saw LPTX trading heavily as speculative volume surged ahead of the rebrand. The move also coincides with a leadership shift, Khing Oei has been appointed Chairman, and Will McEvoy joins as Chief Investment Officer and Board Member, signaling a clear directional bet on digital privacy as an investable thesis.
McEvoy noted that Cypherpunk’s strategy departs from “short-term, mercenary capital,” emphasizing instead “value-aligned investors who believe in the long-term importance of Zcash and privacy.”
Why it matters: This is a bet on digital privacy as the next scarce commodity. The transition gives public-market investors one of the only listed vehicles with pure exposure to Zcash, a protocol known for its zero-knowledge cryptography and focus on anonymity-preserving transactions.
