Gemini launched a Zcash-themed crypto credit card this week that rewards users in Zcash (ZEC). The card emphasizes privacy and offers automatic crypto rewards on qualifying purchases.

A firm representative told a firm representative told that ZEC ranks among the top-10 reward choices for cardholders. Cardholders can opt to receive rewards in over 50 supported crypto assets and earn up to 4% back, with no annual fee.
The card follows previous themed releases highlighting Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP. In November the Winklevoss brothers led funding for a company building a Zcash digital-asset treasury, and the firm has explored settlement using Ripple’s RLUSD with partners including WebBank, Ripple, and MasterCard.
Gemini completed a public offering selling shares for about $28, briefly rising past $37, and valuing the company near $4.4 billion. The stock later fell more than 75% from that peak to trade around $9.12, and the SEC dismissed a long-standing enforcement action against the firm stated.
ZEC changed hands near $374, down roughly 6% in 24 hours and up about 750% over the past year. The token has recently faced volatility after protocol developers left to form a new company.
