ZEC Takes Off While Others Bleed

While most cryptocurrencies are correcting along with gold and silver — or even dropping — Zcash is going wild.

Sure, it’s still far from the legendary 2999 BTC per 1 ZEC seen at launch nine years ago, but compared to its bottom just over a year ago, ZEC has already done a 12x, with most of the gains coming in the last two weeks.

I kept wondering who would benefit the most from the issues Monero faced in August–September 2025. Blocks were being rewritten, transactions rolled back, confirmations took hours — and yet, users didn’t leave Monero for other privacy coins.

Turns out, they were just in shock. The migration happened later — after things seemed to have stabilized and no one expected it anymore.

Now demand is rising, and so is the price. All fair and square. But what’s interesting is that this isn’t an “exodus” from Monero — it’s the result of new users entering the privacy coin space. The demand for XMR hasn’t gone anywhere either, and its own price increase proves that.

And just a reminder: both XMR and ZEC are available for exchange at the best rates on rabbit.io.
