Because you need btc to make the ecash token.

So when you send btc to an ecash wallet the mint takes the btc and give you a token then when you are going to s3nd from your ecash wallet you tell the mint to make a payment on your behalf so you give the mint the tokens and the make the transaction for you this is how it becomes private

So the purpose of ecash is to make your payments private that they will not trace bwck to you.
