ZEC’s decline was substantially larger than the beta-adjusted Bitcoin move; it first spiked, then fell back sharply. - trigger · medium: Bitcoin and many tracked coins fell over the same 24-hour window. Reports of Mercado Bitcoin’s security breach and paused withdrawals appeared at 16:46, 19:05 and 20:19 UTC and may have weighed on market sentiment, but do not show a direct link to ZEC. Evidence gap: The beta-adjusted Bitcoin move accounts for only part of ZEC’s decline, and the reports do not establish that the breach caused a market-wide selloff or when its effects began. Sources: [S5](), [S10](), [S11](), [S12]() Open question: The timing and cause of the initial spike and subsequent fall are not established, and the breach’s market impact is unclear.
