Zcash Price Retains 4% Rally Amid Crypto Bloodbath

Zcash (ZEC), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has recorded gains of over 4% in the past 24 hours. This rally comes despite a broader market bloodbath, which has seen top coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) fall to new lows.

Zcash stands as an outlier in the midst of the market trend

The broader crypto market is in a sharp decline today, November 14, 2025. The total crypto market cap has shed about $300 billion, falling to $3.22 trillion.

For the first time in months, Bitcoin fell below $100,000, hitting lows between $97,000 and $98,400. This price drop triggered more than $1.39 billion in liquidations across the sector in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum and major altcoins have lost around 5-20% of their value. Currently, ETH is trading at $3,106, down 10.5% on the daily chart.

In the middle of this brutal blood crypto market, Zcash stood out as a rare outlier, rallying more than 4% to $564.90. ZEC has defied the market’s average 4-6% drop and is now trading as the 14th largest crypto, with a market capitalization of $9.2 billion.

ZEC year-to-date gains now exceed 1,360%, making it the best performer among privacy coins. Zcash started rising in September from around $50, climbing consistently for weeks. The increase brought its market capitalization above $10 billion.

What is happening with Zcash?

Crucially, the latest ZEC surge is not random speculation. Rather, it comes in the midst of a growing demand for privacy, supply mechanics and institutional conviction that positions it as a “safe harbor.”

Zcash, unlike BTC and ETH, uses zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to enable fully protected transactions, hiding the sender, recipient and amounts. This technology powers many of the modern zk-rollups, giving ZEC asymmetric upside.

ZEC broke a two-month trend in October, surging 350% to hit new price highs more than $ 268. Now it is testing the resistance of $ 560, with RSI cooling from overbought to sustainable levels, important for the continuation.

Also, the big players are doubling down, seeing ZEC as undervalued infrastructure. In particular, the Grayscale Zcash Trust has attracted flows in recent weeks despite flows from BTC and ETH ETFs.

Why, a Developer Solanaeven argued that the creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto predicted the success of ZEC in 2010.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is also bullish on Zcash, calling it “unstoppable.”

The Winklevoss twins also awarded $50 million via Cypherpunk Technologies. Their goal is to snap up 5% of the total ZEC supply.
