Cypherpunk Technologies — The Winklevoss Twins’ Bet on Privacy and Zcash

Cypherpunk Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTX, rebranding to CYPH) is a publicly traded company led by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, focused on advancing digital privacy and self-sovereignty. Reborn from Leap Therapeutics, it brands itself as a “privacy treasury” that invests in and supports privacy-preserving assets—most notably Zcash ($ZEC), the zk-SNARK–powered cryptocurrency designed for shielded, private transactions.

The company’s vision echoes the original cypherpunk movement of the 1990s: defending personal freedom through cryptography. Cypherpunk positions Bitcoin as transparent “digital gold” and Zcash as “digital cash” for private transfers—two sides of a decentralized monetary system.

The project exploded on November 12, 2025, after Tyler Winklevoss’s launch thread went viral, drawing support from Balaji Srinivasan, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox, and others. As news spread, ZEC surged 20–30% with trading volume up 5x, signaling renewed excitement for privacy coins.

Oobit — The Crypto Tap-to-Pay App Going Mainstream with $OOB Token Launch

Oobit is a crypto payment app (launched in 2017) that lets users spend Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other tokens directly at over 100M Visa and Mastercard merchants—just like Apple Pay, but powered by crypto. Users connect self-custodial wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom), tap their phone, and merchants receive fiat instantly. The app runs on iOS and Android and focuses on real-world stablecoin utility, low fees, and regulatory compliance.

The project’s momentum exploded on November 12, 2025, with the launch of its $OOB token on Solana, replacing the old Ethereum-based $OBT. The relaunch came alongside a $100M acquisition by Nasdaq-listed VCI Global, which became the OOB Foundation’s treasury manager and made Tether its largest shareholder. Within hours, $OOB rallied over 200% to ~$0.24, reaching a $700M market cap as trading opened on Kraken and Orca, fueled by influencer buzz, airdrop speculation, and strong institutional backing.

Edel Finance — Tokenized Stock Lending Comes to DeFi

Edel Finance is a DeFi protocol bridging traditional finance and crypto by enabling users to lend and borrow tokenized stocks and real-world assets (RWAs). Built on Base (Ethereum Layer 2), it lets holders of tokenized equities earn yield—bringing Wall Street’s $10B stock-lending industry on-chain under the tagline “From Wall Street to your Wallet.”

Its native token $EDEL powers governance, staking, and fee sharing, with full liquidity locks and a transparent, doxxed team.

The project’s token launch on November 12, 2025, sent it viral—hitting a $27M market cap within hours and dominating Aerodrome’s trading charts as traders flocked to the first serious attempt at on-chain equity lending.

Seismic Systems — Encrypted Blockchain Infrastructure for Fintech

Seismic Systems)= s building an EVM-compatible, privacy-preserving Layer 1 blockchain designed for fintech and institutional use. Founded in 2023 by Lyron Co Ting Keh, it integrates Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to encrypt transactions, balances, and data flows directly at the protocol level—solving one of crypto’s biggest pain points: the lack of confidentiality in financial apps. Developers can build composable, fast, and compliant on-chain products without exposing sensitive data like salaries or credit info.

The project surged in visibility in mid-November 2025 after announcing a $10M funding round, with coverage in Fortune and The Block. The news hit as fintech-crypto integration accelerates and privacy becomes a key narrative—making Seismic one of the leading contenders for the “encrypted finance layer” of Web3.
