Neutral
Zebra v2.4.2 dey focus on technical improvement for Zcash node, like security patches, RPC beta beta and big database upgrade. Even though dis update strong network stability and make developer dem confident, e no dey directly affect token supply or price movement. For history, small node release dey cause neutral market reaction, because traders dem dey prioritize protocol fork or partnership for ecosystem to move price. For short term, change for liquidity and volatility no go big. For long term, better RPC function and database reliability fit support developer work and service integration, wey go create small positive vibe for ZEC usage. But this release alone no fit cause big bullish or bearish trend.
