ZEC started in 2016 as an idea to make Bitcoin more private.
It officially launched in October 2016 using transaction-shielding technology.
At first, its price was very high due to limited supply.
It went through years of decline like other cryptocurrencies.
Now in 2026, it has made a strong comeback as a leading privacy coin for secure payments.
