TREE NEWS reports: Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu recalled that in 2016, when ZEC mainnet launched, BitMEX set a price cap of 10 BTC, which became ZEC’s all-time high. That night, shortly after mining began, a lightning strike hit the graphics card farm’s transformer. He said his personal wallet has never held ZEC since.

The anecdote underscores how infrastructure fragility and exchange mechanics, not fundamentals, can define a token's early market history. The price cap and subsequent hardware failure shaped perceptions that may still influence ZEC's positioning. Whether such operational shocks remain a relevant risk for emerging networks is the open question, as it speaks to the gap between protocol launch and real-world resilience.
