With the price of XEC currently down 97% from its all time high, the euphoria I experienced back in 2021 feels like a lifetime ago. And for those who joined the eCash movement in that last pump, I can understand if you’ve given up all hope, convinced yourselves eCash is dead, and believe that the price of XEC is never going to recover. You might even think you’d have to be delusional to think otherwise.
Well, I guess I must be delusional.
Even I’m a bit shocked, if I’m being perfectly honest. If you’d said to me four years ago that in November 2025, the price of 1M XEC was going to be $13, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’d have also assumed that if this happened, I would be depressed out of my mind. But strangely, I’m not depressed in the slightest, and I’m feeling more optimistic than I have in a long time.
To be fair, my positive outlook isn’t just about the eCash project. It could easily be attributed to a number of reasons (my family, my writing, my job), but the eCash project is definitely among them.
I know that for some of you, this drawdown is painful. You’re down bad, and you’re questioning your life choices. I can tell you that I’ve been there. Seven years ago, in December 2018, it was me questioning my life choices. Bitcoin Cash was down 98% from an all time high of $4000, to $75, but whereas back then the only reason I didn’t give up was because I saw no other choice, this time I can say it’s because I see signs of hope that things can turn around at any moment.
Behind the paywall, you can read about what I see as signs that a recovery in the XEC price is very much possible. Obviously, I don’t have a crystal ball. I can’t see the future, and there’s no guarantee I’m going to be right in the end, but all I want to do is share my thoughts and earn a little XEC. You can read and decide for yourself if if I’m making sense, or if it’s all a bunch of nonsense.
Please use the PayButton below to pay 1000 XEC to continue.
Recent rise of ZEC and Dash: If you’re in crypto, you ought to know that ZEC recently pulled off a 10x in just over a month. Dash has pumped more than 7x from its lows in the same time period. Both are considered “dinosaur coins”, or old coins that everyone has forgotten about. If you look at their charts and the chart of XEC, they’re not all that dissimilar. There’s also the fact that both ZEC and Dash are UTXO layer 1s trying to be digital cash, just like eCash, and not VC coins like Solana or the more recent wave of alt layer 1s. Whether or not eCash will be the next project to pump remains to be seen, but the point is, Zcash and Dash have shown us it’s possible.
Coinex trading volume: Something I’ve noticed on the weekly XEC/USDT chart (above) on Coinex exchange is the steady increase in trading volume. Basically from early 2022 to June 2024, there was barely any XEC volume on Coinex. But the last year and a half, the volume has been steadily growing. I even tried to confirm this by looking at the Coinex hot wallet and noticed that the total amount of XEC being withdrawn from their hot wallet on a weekly basis is almost 10x the amounts I would see in 2022. Maybe this is nothing, but I feel like because Coinex was the first exchange to list XEC, and is used by many OG Bcashers, the increased volume could be meaningful.
Avalanche stakes: The fact that the amount of staked XEC has quietly grown past 307B XEC in spite the poor price performance tells me whales haven’t given up. In fact, they are accumulating even more XEC. This is also important because it helps provide greater security to the network and instills confidence in users that our funds are safe.
Electronic Cash Conference 2025: While the conference didn’t lead to a pump as some may have hoped, I still consider it to have been a success. We had great speakers, discussing interesting topics, and of course the announcement that Avalanche pre-consensus was finally launching on the eCash network on November 15, 2025. But in addition, the videos of the presentations seem to be leading to new people finding the project. The talk given by Joey (below) has now surpassed over 4,000 views in just two days. That’s a solid number considering eCash hasn’t even pumped yet. I take it as a sign that people are hearing the message and spreading the word.
As always, thanks for reading, and if you haven’t already watched Joey’s talk, have a listen.
Please upgrade ecash network for deposit and withdraw or transfer all crypto currencies. This would be a favorable moment for investors to invest in this project.
