Zcash Leads a Hot Trade at the Worst Possible Regulatory Moment

Zcash’s explosive rally arrives as global AML enforcement tightens. FATF warnings, the EU’s new AML package, and a wave of privacy coin delistings have put the entire sector under a spotlight. Centralized exchanges removed nearly 60 privacy assets in 2024, and upcoming EU rules will effectively ban anonymous crypto instruments on licensed platforms by 2027. Analysts warn that thin liquidity and shrinking venues may magnify both upside spikes — and future crashes.
