Zcash’s 300% rally in fall 2025 reignited the oldest debate in crypto: transparency or privacy. While Bitcoin cements its place as institutional gold, Zcash is proving that privacy still sells — even in an age of regulation and surveillance.

Zcash is a cryptocurrency that grew out of the Zerocoin project, aimed at improving anonymity for Bitcoin users.The Zerocoin protocol was initially improved and transformed into Zerocash, which thus yielded the Zcash cryptocurrency in 2016.
