Zcash Hits $527: The Privacy Wars Ignite! 🛡️🚀
Zcash (ZEC) has surged 17%, smashing through heavy resistance to reach $527 and a $8.5B market cap. While traders eye $600+, the rally has reignited a fierce debate over the future of private digital money.
The Breakdown:
The Breakout: ZEC flipped the $480 level from resistance to support, fueled by supply tightening following its late-2025 halving.
The Rivalry: Litecoin (LTC) remains steady at $78, but its MWEB (MimbleWimble) privacy layer is being hailed by critics as "more compliant" than Zcash’s total encryption.
The Tech Clash: * Litecoin Fans argue optional privacy is safer for regulation and auditing.
Zcash Loyalists double down on zk-SNARKs, claiming superior anonymity and a more decentralized structure are the only way to ensure true financial freedom.
As regulators tighten the screws, the market is currently betting big on Zcash’s "shielded" tech over Litecoin’s optional privacy.
