Rates have been raised. This is the first time since 2023. Bitcoin is above 76,000. Zcash is up 23%.
The market isn’t afraid. It treats this as the last one. The Fed says the tightening ahead will be limited. Traders hear not tightening, but the end point. Price doesn’t remember what has already happened—it only cares about the gap versus expectations. And since that gap is on the looser side, the day that should have fallen became the best day to rise.
That day, Zcash was described by Matt Huang of Paradigm as a privacy add-on to Bitcoin. An add-on. Not a replacement.
The tighter regulation gets, the more expensive transparency becomes. Small-position players don’t care. Large-position players don’t want every entry and exit to be left on a public ledger. So someone started paying to avoid being seen. The price is set by those willing to pay, not by those who need it.
Privacy used to not be a business. Later, as regulation piled on layer after layer, transparency became a cost, and only then did privacy become the price. Prices always grow out of costs.
Emotions don’t talk about valuation. In the first leg up, it’s emotions driving it. Whether it can keep moving depends on on-chain activity—active addresses. If only the price moves but addresses don’t, that’s turnover. Turnover isn’t adoption.
