*$ZEC is a decentralized digital currency focused on privacy, launched in 2016 as a Bitcoin fork.
Its key feature is *zk-SNARKs* technology, which enables shielded transactions: it proves a transfer is valid without revealing the sender, recipient, or amount. It gives you two options: transparent transactions like Bitcoin, or shielded, private ones.#ZECUSDT
Like Bitcoin, it is scarce: *a maximum supply of 21 million coins*, with a halving schedule and Proof-of-Work mining using the Equihash algorithm.
Its price surged in September 2026, surpassing *$1,600* for the first time since 2016, with a market capitalization of $27 billion. This was driven by the launch of its first investment product, an ETP in Europe from 21Shares, and a Grayscale fund in the United States.
