- •Analysts see traders shifting to Zcash amid regulatory pressure on Bitcoin.
Zcash (ZEC) has continued its upward trajectory, recording a 19.87% increase in the last 24 hours to trade near $266.45. The coin showed a strong recovery from the $180–$200 support zone, maintaining a consistent upward move driven by renewed investor confidence.
Market data indicated a rise in market capitalization to $4.33 billion, while daily trading volume increased 13.54%, suggesting growing activity from both retail and institutional participants.
According to analysts, the sharp price rebound indicates stronger buying pressure as investors seek alternatives to more regulated digital assets. The next key resistance level lies around $275, with a potential short‑term target of $300 if momentum is sustained.
Grayscale Zcash Trust Draws Institutional Focus
Zcash has grown following Grayscale’s announcement that its Zcash Trust ($ZCSH) remains the only publicly listed U.S. fund offering direct access to ZEC. The fund allows certain brokerage accounts to trade ZEC indirectly, providing regulated exposure for larger investors.
Analysts at Decrypt noted that institutional involvement could help stabilize Zcash’s liquidity and long‑term value. “Zcash is benefiting from the same privacy narrative that drove earlier rallies,” one market researcher told Decrypt. Growing trust in decentralized privacy solutions is adding confidence to investors seeking assets beyond mainstream cryptocurrencies.
Analysts Observe Shift Toward Privacy Coins
Zcash remained strong despite broader market volatility. ZEC traded near $257 after briefly touching $280, reflecting resilience amid sharp corrections across major assets.
Analysts suggested that growing regulation and ETF dominance over Bitcoin have pushed investors toward privacy‑centric coins such as Zcash. They argue that traders are seeking more autonomy, and ZEC’s design offers that option. The continued price strength and increasing attention from institutional platforms may sustain its upward trend through the coming weeks.
