$ZEC consolidates its breakout at $442 USD (30/nov/2025), with a market cap of $7.25B (rank #17 global) and a 24h volume of $673M – a +12% post-halving that boosted transactions +12% and shielded supply to ATH of 4.9M ZEC (30% of the circulating supply). Out of 16.4M/21M total, its bitcoin-like monetary policy (halvings every 4 years, last in nov/2025 reduced rewards from 3.125 to 1.5625 ZEC/block) reinforces scarcity, while zk-SNARKs maintain total privacy: encrypted transactions without revealing amounts or addresses, ideal against financial surveillance.
Hot news: Grayscale filed S-3 with SEC to convert its $277M Zcash Trust into spot ETF – the first privacy coin seeking institutional approval, with odds 85% and potential $200M+ inflows. NU6.1 activated (24/nov/2025) brings fixes in Orchard pools, quantum-resistant upgrades, and Ztarknet L2 for scalable + programmable privacy. In a world of increasing regulations (EU delistings threaten 18% liquidity), ZEC positions itself as “private digital gold”: faster (blocks every 75s), cheaper (fees <0.01 cent), and self-funded via Community Grants (8% rewards) + Lockbox (12% for governance coinholder-driven).
While $BTC and Eth rotate narratives, Zcash gains traction with real adoption: +736% YTD, surpassing Monero in market share (45% vs 43%). Is the next rally to $652 by year-end (CoinCodex prediction)?
