Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash jumps 75% in a week amid rising retail interest in decentralized networks.
Zcash (ZEC) has climbed 75% over the past week, though it remains 22% below its $735 breakout level from six months ago. The rally reflects growing retail attention toward privacy coins as concerns over government surveillance, AI-driven data tracking, and tighter exchange regulations intensify.
Privacy coins have gained traction amid stricter stablecoin and KYC rules, which could further boost demand for decentralized networks. Analysts note that many privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, including Zcash, still have relatively low market caps, positioning them as high-upside momentum plays.
