While the overall crypto market witnessed a bloodbath this week, privacy coin market recorded astronomical gains with Zcash taking the lead.
As per Coinmarketcap, Zcash (ZEC) reached a total market capitalization of $10.28 billion following a price jump to $655.
As a result, the privacy coin became the 11th largest altcoin and the 12th largest cryptocurrency, with only a few more digits to go to join the top 10 crypto heavyweights.
The privacy coin jumped nearly 23% in the past 24 hours and gained more than 63% over the last week, extending a 1510% breakout run over the past three months.
The rally has transformed the bullish narrative of an almost fading project and made it a pacesetter in the resurrection of privacy coins.
1500% Multi-month Rally That Pushed Zcash Privacy Coin To One Of The Largest Altcoins
Zcash staged one of the strongest comebacks in the crypto market after it soared more than 1,500% in just three months and posted an astonishing 3,000% from its 2024 lows to reach this week’s high of $600 mark.
That price level, according to analysts, hasn’t been seen in roughly 2,830 days. The explosive midterm rally came alongside a 17% rise in ZEC’s value over the same period.
October 2025 marked Zcash’s strongest monthly performance in seven years. The surge that started in September is still building, and November’s action suggests the rally has plenty of fuel left.
Expert Predicts Zcash Price Prediction Of $750
A Zcash price rally to $750 is inevitable according to expert analyst Ali_charts who shared a chart showing the privacy coin’s rally that pushed ZEC beyond $400 to the $600 levels.
By reaching $750, the altcoin will have retested its 2018 highs before the bull run that pushed it to an all-time high of $5,941
This isn’t a one-off spike. Zcash has broken out of years of quiet consolidation, hinting that investor sentiment toward privacy coins may be shifting for good.
The steep upward slope on the weekly timeframe highlights strong buyer conviction and growing confidence in privacy-related assets.
As Ali_charts put it, traders should “respect the pump.” With volume rising and price momentum intact, Zcash now finds itself in the spotlight once again, reviving a coin that many had written off years ago.
