What is Zcash (ZEC)?
Launched in 2016, Zcash is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with the same 21 million supply cap as Bitcoin, plus optional zero-knowledge cryptography (zk-SNARKs) for private, shielded transactions. At XBTFX, ZEC is both a deposit asset and an MT5 account currency, and deposits use transparent addresses.
ZEC account currency
Trade Forex with Zcash as your settlement currency
Open an MT5 account in ZEC and every position you take, from EUR/USD and XAU/USD to the Nasdaq 100, share CFDs and other crypto CFDs, settles its P&L in ZEC. Your balance stays in ZEC, and you can offset ZEC exposure with a short ZEC/USD CFD on the same account.
Stack in ZEC, not dollars
Your equity grows or shrinks in ZEC. ZEC is your benchmark; fiat is one of the things you trade against.
No conversion on the way in or out
Deposit ZEC, trade in ZEC and withdraw ZEC, with no forced USD conversion when you fund or withdraw.
Scarce supply, proof of work
A 21 million supply cap on the same proof-of-work foundations as Bitcoin, with optional shielded transactions on-chain.
