Grayscale is betting on surging demand for privacy. If ZEC captures 2% of Bitcoin’s market cap, its price would climb to $1,600 (currently at $1,200). If this momentum holds, Grayscale analysts project ZEC capturing 10% of BTC's market cap, reaching a price of $8,100 by 2030.
Demand drivers:
🟢 Rapid AI adoption is stripping away financial privacy, driving renewed interest in confidential transactions and private wealth storage
🟢 ZEC’s development continues to advance, with quantum resistance currently top of mind
🟢 Zcash mining remains profitable despite the broader crypto winter
Technical setup:
▶️ ZEC is sustaining its macro uptrend, though a bearish divergence is forming, similar to what played out this past May
▶️ A final push before a pullback could drive prices above $1,400
▶️ If the broader crypto market enters a correction, key support sits at $750–$860 and $500–$660, prime accumulation zones ahead of the 2027 bull run
💬 Zcash is establishing itself as a core narrative for the next market cycle, making it a high-conviction candidate for dip-buying. Other privacy coins could easily follow its lead
