Zcash’s Surge Sparks Privacy-Driven Market Frenzy
-

Zcash (ZEC) has captured the spotlight after a record-breaking rally that many analysts are calling the start of a “privacy season” in crypto.
Built directly from Bitcoin’s codebase, Zcash mirrors its 21 million supply and halving schedule — but introduces one key differentiator: on-chain privacy.Using zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs), Zcash allows shielded transactions, keeping sender, receiver, and amounts confidential — a feature Bitcoin lacks.
This structural distinction has reignited debate over which blockchain better represents Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of true peer-to-peer digital cash.
