In the past week, Zcash (
$ZEC ) exploded 70% to an eight‑year high near $885, only to retreat below $820 as Grayscale’s ETF conversion plan and an NU7 governance vote pulled traders into the coin.
The rally began on Monday, August 19, when the on‑chain volume spiked 150% to $1.2 B, and the 24‑hour market cap surged from $2.1 B to $3.5 B. Grayscale’s announcement that it will convert its $1.5 B ZEC holdings into an ETF has been a catalyst, driving institutional demand. The NU7 vote, which confirmed a 70% increase in the protocol’s privacy parameters, further boosted confidence.
Smart money is now re‑allocating positions. The top 10 holders have increased their stake by 12% in the last 48 hours, while the 30‑day moving average crossed above the 200‑day MA at $870, a classic bullish signal.
#ZEC #Grayscale #PrivacyCoin The next key level is $840, the 50‑day moving average, which is likely to act as a support zone. If ZEC can hold above $840, we could see a breakout to $900‑$950, especially if the ETF launch proceeds on schedule.
