Zcash Defies Market Crash with Resilient Rally
- Zcash resists market crash, fueled by privacy demand and strong support.
- Zcash’s shielded supply surpasses 30% of circulation.
- Exchange netflows drop, indicating reduced selling pressure on Zcash.
Zcash’s price has resisted the market downturn due to decreased exchange netflows, according to CoinGlass data from November 16, 2025, sparking interest in privacy-focused crypto assets.
The reduced sell pressure and institutional backing highlight Zcash’s potential role as a leader in privacy coins.
Zcash is defying the recent market crash by maintaining its rally, primarily supported by a growing demand for privacy-focused solutions. This resilience occurs as broader market conditions remain volatile.
The Zcash Foundation and ECC announced the deployment of the NU6.1 upgrade, enhancing privacy scalability. Josh Cincinnati confirmed significant user migration to these solutions, enhancing Zcash’s privacy guarantees.
“The recent surge in shielded adoption is a direct response to growing global demand for financial privacy. We are seeing more users and institutions moving to Zcash for its unique privacy guarantees, and this is reflected in both on-chain metrics and community sentiment.” – Josh Cincinnati, President, Zcash Foundation
Immediate effects include a notable surge in trading volumes and a reduction in exchange netflows, indicating decreased sell pressure. The market is observing a shift toward privacy-centric coins.
Financial implications involve a $2.5M grant from Web3 Foundation for development, while Cypherpunk Technologies hold a $50M treasury in Zcash, signaling continued institutional interest.
Concerns over privacy regulations remain, but no direct actions have been taken against Zcash. The European Securities Authority has acknowledged the challenges privacy coins present.
With historical trends showing privacy coins rallying amid regulatory discussions, Zcash’s technological upgrades position it strongly. The community is eyeing a potential $1,000 valuation, supported by reduced supply and increased demand.
