Zebec Network’s ZBCN Token Surges Close To 300% Despite Recent Correction: Here’s Why

• ZBCN rallies 300% over past month before correcting from $0.007 peak.
• Science Card acquisition expands Zebec into education sector with 50,000 users.
• Uphold platform now holds $100 million in ZBCN under custody.

With the help of expanding institutional support and targeted acquisitions, Zebec Network’s native token, ZBCN, has increased by around 300% in the last month. The decentralized financial system is still growing strongly in a number of domains, even if it just saw a 30% fall after reaching its record high.

On May 30, ZBCN hit a new all-time high of $0.007 before falling to its current levels of about $0.0045. The token shed 8.8% in the past day alone, indicating profit-taking activity following the rapid appreciation.

Zebec Network operates as a DeFi protocol enabling continuous and real-time payments through blockchain technology. The project has secured $46 million in funding from prominent investors including Circle, Coinbase Ventures, Solana Ventures, and Alameda Research, according to CryptoRank data.

Science Card acquisition targets education market

A key catalyst for ZBCN’s rally was Zebec’s acquisition of Science Card, a UK-based fintech platform serving over 50,000 users across top universities including Cambridge. The May 29 announcement expands Zebec’s portfolio into the education sector.

“We’ve acquired Science Card to power the next wave of real-world financial infrastructure—starting with education. With deep ties to top UK universities, Science Card brings mission-driven finance that aligns with our vision,” the official announcement stated.

Science Card’s payment system handles research grants, budgeting, and campus spending, positioning Zebec to capture opportunities in the growing EdTech and FinTech markets. This acquisition enhances the network’s global reach and practical utility beyond traditional DeFi applications.

In order to include XDB currency into Zebec’s payment card solutions, which include Black, Silver, and Carbon cards, the company partnered with XDB CHAIN on June 2. This partnership generates new applications for partner tokens and increases the usefulness of Zebec’s payment system.

Strategic alliances have expanded along with institutional backing. Institutional faith in the project’s future potential is demonstrated by Uphold, a digital wallet and trading platform that recently revealed having $100 million in ZBCN assets under custody.

According to user adoption stats, the community is growing rapidly; as of May 27, Zebec Network has 60,000 ZBCN holders. This milestone indicates growing retail interest alongside institutional accumulation.

The holder count growth suggests the network is successfully attracting users beyond speculative trading, potentially creating a foundation for sustained demand as real-world applications develop.

Additionally, unconfirmed reports suggest a potential partnership between Zebec Network and Ripple, though no official announcement has been made. The speculation has contributed to market excitement around ZBCN’s future prospects.
