Zebec Network (ZBCN) Surges 39% Following Science Card Acquisition

Zebec Network (ZBCN) has experienced a remarkable surge in value, rising over 39% in the past 24 hours. According to data from Coingecko, ZBCN is currently exchanging hands at $0.005902. 

The asset’s trading volume also saw a sharp increase of 56.70% to over $137 million in the last 24 hours. This figure reflects increased market interest and activity in the token. On-chain data shows that the asset has surged over 360% over the past month. 

With a price increase of 122.10% in the last 7 days, ZBCN is outperforming the global cryptocurrency market, which is down 3.40%. The recent price uptick can be attributed to Zebec’s acquisition of the UK-based fintech firm, Science Card.

Strategic Acquisition of Science Card

In an X post, Zebec Network announced the acquisition of Science Card, a UK fintech company focused on simplifying university research finance. Launched in 2024, Science Card is designed to bridge the gap between everyday banking and scientific research funding. 

The platform offers users a Mastercard-powered debit card and e-money account. These tools allow them to support university-led research projects through their daily spending, research grants, and budgeting. 

Meanwhile, the latest acquisition is set to enrich Zebec’s card program, which already includes payroll pay cards and crypto debit cards. It also aims to empower students and academic institutions with secure, transparent financial tools. This aligns with its mission to bridge traditional and digital payments.

“Reaching 50,000+ users across 10 leading UK universities — including Cambridge and Aston University — Science Card will bring real-world utility to campus spending. With this acquisition, we’re enabling students to spend crypto on campus while funding university research with every swipe, with expansion into education payments,” the platform stated. 

The acquisition enhances Zebec’s portfolio, positioning it to operate within the growing EdTech, DeSci and FinTech space. Additionally, Zebec recently formed a strategic partnership with stablecoin issuer Circle. It has become a certified member of the Circle Alliance Program. This partnership integrates USDC as the default stablecoin across Zebec’s product suite, further enhancing its payment infrastructure. 

With these strategic moves, Zebec Network is positioning itself as a significant player in the blockchain payment space. As the company continues to expand its offerings and forge new partnerships, investors and users are taking notice. They are closely watching Zebec’s developments in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
