How privacy narrative sparked ZCash’s rally — And what it needs now
ZCash (ZEC) experienced significant price volatility, rallying past $300 recently before retreating below that key psychological level. This movement was influenced by Bitcoin's price action, with ZEC bulls initially showing strength but facing selling pressure from broader market weakness. The rally, which began in late 2025, was primarily fueled by a growing narrative around privacy coins. This led to a substantial increase in on-chain activity, including a rise in both regular and shielded transactions. Shielded transactions, which encrypt sender, receiver, and amount details, saw their share jump to over 26% during peak months. Furthermore, the amount of ZEC held in privacy-preserving pools grew dramatically from 11.25% of the circulating supply in late 2024 to over 30% a year later. This fundamental shift in user behavior and asset holding, combined with the post-halving narrative, drove increased adoption and investor appeal for ZEC network.
