Zcash (ZEC) is drawing attention again as one of the privacy-focused cryptocurrencies showing real usage increase — not just market rumors. With a surge in shielded supply and large trading volume.

The price of ZEC is currently in the range of US$ 500-650 with a 24-hour trading volume reaching several billion dollars. Circulating supply ~16.3 million coins out of a maximum total of 21 million. (datasource: CoinMarketCap/CoinGecko)

Transactions in the shielded pool mean that the coins are 'not directly transparent for sale/trading'; this could mean that the active tradable supply decreases, which theoretically could increase upward pressure on the price if demand remains or rises. Additionally, the increase in the use of privacy mode could indicate a change in real demand — not just hype or spin.
Because ZEC is a privacy coin, there are regulatory risks, exchange listing restrictions, or additional compliance requirements.
Although the shielded pool has increased, most transactions are still transparent, and wallets + exchanges are not yet fully seamless for shielded.
❗️The price has already risen significantly; a major correction is also possible. Coins with "privacy premium" often experience extreme fluctuations.
ZEC today is not just an "ordinary altcoin". It stands at the intersection of mature privacy technology + real market momentum. But like an advanced umbrella in the midst of regulatory storms—useful if you know how to use it, and prepared if strong regulatory winds come.
