Winklevoss-backed Cypherpunk increased its Zcash (ZEC) holdings to about $150 million after making an $18 million purchase, the firm reported on Nov. 19, 2025. The move is being watched as a sign of institutional interest in privacy tokens.
Zcash surged more than 45% in the past 24 hours to trade above $600, markedly outperforming the broader crypto market. Traders point to renewed interest in privacy assets and increased on‑chain accumulation as likely drivers.
Zcash (ZEC) climbed just over 4% in the past 24 hours, bucking a broad market selloff that pushed Bitcoin and Ethereum to fresh lows. The move highlights temporary strength in some privacy and mid-cap tokens amid widespread volatility.
Analysts warn a potential 50% ZEC correction in 2025 amid overheated technicals, but growing merchant adoption, on-chain strength, and rising demand for privacy transactions could set the stage for a stronger rebound.
ZEC slipped about 2.2% today, but the drop masks a key technical development after a three‑month rally of over 1,278%. Selling pressure has largely collapsed while the broader bullish structure remains intact, signaling a possible fresh upswing.
Zcash's Q4 rally is faltering as an inverse cup-and-handle pattern and Fed-driven risk aversion put ZEC at risk of a roughly 50% drop toward $267; $440 is the critical level traders are watching.
Zcash (ZEC) rose about 6% to trade above $500 after Tyler Winklevoss announced Cypherpunk Technologies, a new Digital Asset Treasury, and disclosed roughly $100 million in ZEC holdings. Markets reacted to the prospect of sizable, concentrated corporate demand for the privacy coin.
Zcash (ZEC) has risen to become the third-best performer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies as 2025’s so-called "privacy season" picks up pace, with Monero (XMR) also outpacing most peers. The move signals renewed investor appetite for privacy-focused assets amid shifting market flows.
Zcash is trading under pressure as most cryptocurrencies remain in the red today, according to CoinMarketCap; negative momentum leaves near-term bias tilted toward sellers.
Zcash has been climbing through a month-long uptrend and is trading near $492, gaining about 9% in the last 24 hours while most majors sit in a tight range. The move stands out as the broader crypto market consolidates.
