Key Factors Behind Zcash’s Growth
- A new all-time high has been recorded above $536.3.
- In one month, the coin’s value has risen by nearly 240%.
- Experts highlight several reasons, including the potential launch of a new DAT.
At the time of writing this news, the price of Zcash was slightly correcting, trading just below the $530 mark. This is confirmed by data from TradingView:
The rapid growth of Zcash has been ongoing since the end of October 2025. On October 31, the coin had already set a new record, reaching $390, and in November, it surpassed a new historical milestone.
Market Dynamics of Privacy Coins
Other privacy cryptocurrencies are also showing similar positive dynamics. In particular, Monero has added 12.4% over the month, while Dash has increased by 260.4%. According to CoinGecko, the total market capitalization of privacy coins has reached $26.4 billion.
Zcash’s share in this sector has significantly increased—by nearly 5% since the beginning of November—indicating heightened investor interest in this asset.
The coin’s rise was commented on by well-known crypto expert Arthur Hayes. He expressed a forecast that Zcash could continue its upward trend and reach a target level of $1000.
“According to experts, the growth of Zcash and likely Dash is driven by several factors. This includes a general trend towards privacy, the technical features of the projects, transparency, and capital flows.”
Charles Guillemet, Chief Technology Officer at Ledger, believes that the true reason for the price jump is the unnoticed accumulation of the asset by major market players. He also suggested that news about a treasury company creating a reserve in Zcash may emerge soon.
Recall that the Zcash team previously presented an updated roadmap for the fourth quarter of 2025, which may have also influenced investor interest in the coin.
