BTC Vs ZEC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency, designed primarily as a peer‑to‑peer digital money and now widely treated as a store of value.Bitcoin (BTC) has a market cap around $1.84 trillion with roughly $59.62 billion 24h volume, while Zcash (ZEC) is about $7.56 billion market cap with $1.15 billion 24h volume.
ZEC shares Bitcoin‑style scarcity (21 million max supply, PoW mining) but is orders of magnitude smaller and sits in the “Privacy Coins / Zero‑knowledge” niche rather than the “macro asset” role BTC increasingly fills.
BTC tends to move with macro flows, ETF demand, and broad crypto cycles. ZEC trades more like a high‑beta, theme‑driven altcoin.
