Leap Therapeutics to change name to ‘Cypherpunk Technologies,’ ticker to ‘CYPH’

Leap Therapeutics (LPTX) announced it will change its name to Cypherpunk Technologies and unveiled a digital asset treasury strategy to accumulate Zcash’s native coin, ZEC. Cypherpunk has to date used $50M of proceeds from the previously announced private placement to purchase 203,775.27 ZEC at an average purchase price of $245.37 per ZEC. In addition, the company also plans to change its ticker symbol to (CYPH)as part of the rebranding under the Cypherpunk name. The company will begin trading under its new name and ticker symbol CYPH on Thursday, November 13. Until then, investors can continue to buy and sell the company’s stock under the current ticker symbol LPTX without interruption. Cypherpunk also announced the appointment of Khing Oei and Will McEvoy to its Board of Directors, effective November 11, 2025. This strategic move comes as part of the company’s recently completed $58.88M private placement led by Winklevoss Capital to initiate a digital asset treasury strategy. Notably, Winklevoss Capital was the only institutional investor in the private placement, contributing a majority of the total raised.
