Source Evidence: Reddit r/zec discussion Has the ZCAT news made it here yet? reported: "It just did ~$35m in 24hr volume which is roughly ~$1m in $zec buy pressure." (3% volume tax used to auto-buy spot ZEC & airdrop to holders without purchasing ASIC miners or colocation).

Economic Structural Finding: At the Reddit-reported $35,000,000/day volume, the 3% transaction fee captures $1,050,000 in daily buy pressure (equivalent to ~24,750 ZEC). This is 6.87× greater than the total daily Proof-of-Work emission of the entire Zcash network (~3,600 ZEC/day). As a result, a 0.50% token holder passively accumulates 123.75 ZEC/day, requiring zero physical colocation, zero hardware depreciation risk, and zero electricity overhead. However, memecoin trading velocity exhibits high decay risk compared to persistent ASIC hardware uptime.
