Unlike a stablecoin, its price moves with the market. GhostSwap needs no account on a centralized exchange and no KYC. ### Is it legal to own and swap Zcash? In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself.

If a swap cannot be completed, the USDC BEP20 is refunded to the BNB Smart Chain address you entered as the sender address.
