Zcash’s original privacy pool, Sprout, still holds about 12,200 ZEC, according to CoinDesk. The pool dates back to 2016, when it was launched as part of Zcash’s early privacy design. At current valuations cited in the report, the remaining coins are worth roughly $16 million. Movement out of the pool has accelerated over the past week. Around 10,000 ZEC has left Sprout during that period, showing that holders have been moving funds ahead of the freeze. Even so, the pace appears to have slowed sharply on Wednesday, when only about 40 ZEC moved out. The figures point to a large balance still sitting in Zcash’s oldest privacy pool even after a week of withdrawals. CoinDesk’s report highlights both the scale of the remaining funds and the limited activity seen on Wednesday compared with the broader outflows recorded over the previous week.
