On May 11, Zcash ($ZEC) dropped to $550 after a sharp rally, although the privacy-focused cryptocurrency still posted a 33% gain over the past seven days as renewed interest and ongoing debate fueled speculation about its future.
The privacy-focused crypto project promises to achieve full post-quantum status within the next 1.5 years. Zcash will release crypto wallets protected against quantum hacking within a month and aims to achieve full post-quantum status within 12–18 months. This was announced by Josh Swihart, founder and CEO of Zcash Open Development Lab, during his speech at Consensus Miami, according to CoinDesk.
Zcash continues to receive support from several directions at once: a listing on Robinhood, easing tensions between the United States and Iran, and a reduction in the available supply of ZEC are fueling interest in the coin. Over the past month, Zcash has significantly outperformed the broader crypto market. The coin gained more than 125%, while most cryptocurrencies rose by an average of around 15% during the same period.
Over the past seven days, the price of every cryptocurrency among the top 100 largest by market capitalization showed growth. Bitcoin and Ethereum rose by 6% and 4%, surpassing the $82,000 and $2,400 marks respectively, while some major altcoins increased by as much as 80% during the same period.
Zcash staged a powerful rally, pushing price action into a steep upward move that reflects strong bullish sentiment. The recent surge lifted Zcash ($ZEC) to $547.68, marking a sharp 30% daily gain.
Zcash surged above $400 for the first time since January, reaching a peak of $424 on May 3. This marks a 100% recovery from early-year lows and brings it closer to Monero.
Trading volume for Grayscale’s Zcash Trust (ZCSH) has doubled, surpassing $2 million in daily volume, while the total amount of shielded Zcash tokens has reached an all-time high.
According to CoinGecko, over the past 24 hours the price of $ZEC increased by 9.4%, by 3.4% over the past week, by 45.4% over the past month, and by 948.4% since April 2025. This rise of Zcash ($ZEC) occurred after the long-awaited listing on Robinhood.
Over the past 30 days, Zcash has gained more than 30%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin still holds several advantages, including ongoing development of privacy-focused projects and internal restructuring that clarified its direction, while Bitcoin itself has seen relatively little change during the same period.
The Zcash price has moved lower even after the network disclosed that critical software fixes had been deployed across major mining operations. $ZEC was trading near $325.95, down about 5.47% over 24 hours, while its market capitalization stood at $5.42 billion. Daily trading volume reached $476.94 million.
Zcash stayed on the sidelines for most of 2025, but this week it demanded attention. $ZEC surged 62% over five trading days, briefly reaching $390 before pulling back and consolidating around $371.
Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer of Maelstrom and co-founder of BitMEX, shared his views on the current macroeconomic situation, Bitcoin price movement, and his new favorite portfolio assets in an exclusive interview with Anthony Pompliano.
With the renewed bullish trend in the Zcash ($ZEC) market, it is worth examining why Arthur Hayes favors this cryptocurrency and why he predicts its growth. In October 2025, Happy Coin News reported that Hayes had forecast Zcash to reach $10,000. Currently, the cryptocurrency is priced at only $372, but Arthur remains optimistic and believes in the strong potential of the digital asset.
The price of Zcash jumped 25% to nearly $335 following the announcement of a ceasefire between the United States, Israel, and Iran. This surge pushed weekly gains for $ZEC to 33%, significantly outperforming Bitcoin and bringing its market capitalization to $5.4 billion, approaching that of its competitor Monero.
The price of Zcash ($ZEC) has stabilized at $220 with a daily increase of 0.10%. The price is consolidating between two Fibonacci levels after a sharp pullback from the $275 zone.
Zcash rose more than 20% yesterday, breaking the descending trendline that had been in place since December, and is now pulling back 3.78% to $266.16, while buyers and sellers determine whether $280 will hold as support or return as resistance. Yesterday was one of the most active trading sessions for $ZEC in recent months. Today is the reality check.
