Zcash jumped nearly 6% over the past day, outpacing bitcoin and ether as the broader crypto market struggled for momentum. The privacy-focused token gained 2% since midnight UTC alone, while BTC managed just 0.6% and ETH climbed 0.3%.
The move marks a rare bright spot for privacy coins, which have endured years of regulatory headwinds and exchange delistings. ZEC's rally alongside smaller gainers like PUMP, HYPE, and LIT suggests selective appetite is returning to the fringes of the market, even as heavyweight assets tread water. Whether the bounce holds or fades into another false start remains the open question for traders watching privacy assets regain traction.
