Zcash at $1,000 — Has the Privacy Coin Supercycle

Episode notes
Zcash has smashed through $1,000 — and suddenly one of crypto’s forgotten sectors is back in the spotlight.
In today’s Daily Crypto Deep Dive , we investigate the extraordinary resurgence of Zcash, the arrival of regulated Wall Street exposure through the Grayscale Zcash ETF, and whether this could mark the beginning of a much bigger privacy coin supercycle .
ZEC has surged dramatically in recent weeks, institutional money is beginning to gain exposure, mining activity has increased and privacy-focused cryptocurrencies are once again attracting serious attention.
But there is another side to the rally. Millions of dollars in ZEC short positions have been liquidated, leverage has helped accelerate the move, and a near-100% monthly gain raises an obvious question: is Zcash genuinely being revalued, or are traders chasing another unsustainable crypto pump?
