Zcash Price Explosion: Is This the Start of a Privacy Coin Bull Run?
Traders are relying on privacy tokens, with Zcash in the forefront, while the rest of the cryptocurrency market has entered a downturn. Zcash reached a high of $655 early Friday, according to CoinMarketCap data, with a market capitalization of over $10.6 billion. As of this writing, the price has risen to $659.45 without stopping. Thus, its market value has increased to $10.7 billion, making it the 12th largest cryptocurrency asset.
Zcash Ignites 2025’s Privacy Revolution With Massive Rally
According to CoinMarketCap, ZEC‘s value has climbed by over 73.99% over the past week and by about 21.13% over the past day. The increase continues a breakout performance that has elevated the previously disregarded privacy currency to the forefront of 2025’s privacy revival. The discussion on financial autonomy and surveillance-resistant cryptocurrency is changing as a result of this trend.
Once the industry standard for privacy coins, Monero stagnated due to exchange delistings brought on by regulatory scrutiny and liquidity issues. While Bitcoin and Ether continued their consolidation, the focus shifted to privacy-focused assets. This situation allowed ZEC to outperform competitors like Monero. In addition to Zcash, CoinMarketCap revealed that among the top privacy-focused cryptocurrency assets last week, tokens like Dash, Decred, and ZKsync also had the most growth.
Zcash Surge Fueled by Organic Hype and Crypto Influencer Support
High-profile endorsements from prominent industry figures like Arthur Hayes, Naval Ravikant, Mert Mumtaz, and Threadguy, as well as grassroots support, are the driving forces behind Zcash‘s ascent. For months, these influential people have been pushing privacy as the next big story in cryptocurrency. They stressed in their podcasts and posts that Zcash’s zero-knowledge proof technology could provide a pure decentralized value transfer.
Alex Bornstein, executive director of the Zcash Foundation, claimed on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction program that neither the Electric Coin Company nor the foundation compensated influencers. He underlined that ZEC’s recent promotion was completely natural. He claimed that rather than being the result of a planned campaign, the latest surge of lobbying was an unplanned cultural change.
