Zcash jumps 17% on 27 December as privacy trade beats Solana and memecoins
On 27 December, Zcash surged 17% to $515, extending its monthly recovery to 43% and reversing about half of its Q4 losses. At the same time, ZEC's perpetual futures volume hit $2.9 billion, overtaking Solana and giving it roughly 7% of the market, while privacy coins led 2025 narrative returns. Analysts noted growing demand for shielded transactions, with shielded ZEC supply reaching 5 million, and suggested that if current momentum is maintained, prices could target $600 or $750, though a drop below $450 might undermine the rebound.
