Zcash’s Wild Ride: 1,000% Gains, Flipping Coins Like Pancakes 🥞

by

Well, strap in, folks, because the crypto rollercoaster has taken a turn for the absurd! Zcash (ZEC), the coin that’s been quietly minding its own business, has suddenly decided it’s the star of the show. Trading at a whopping $394.0 per coin, it’s up a mind-boggling 1,000% in just two months. That’s right-1,000%. If only my retirement fund could pull off such acrobatics. 🤑

Back on August 19, ZEC was humbly priced at $34.59. Fast forward to today, and it’s flipping coins left and right like a pancake chef on Red Bull. It’s now outranked poor Shiba Inu (SHIB), the once-mighty meme coin, and even Monero (XMR), the former king of privacy coins. Monero, you’ve been dethroned-pass the crown and the tissues. 😢

Year-over-year, Zcash has racked up a cool 933% gain, jumping from $38.43 on October 31, 2024. Privacy advocates are probably high-fiving each other right now, their purchasing power multiplied by ten. Take that, inflation! 📈

Here’s the kicker: Zcash is now sitting pretty with a $6.49 billion market cap, an all-time high. And get this-it’s achieved this feat with a much larger coin supply than back in 2018, when it hit a $2.14 billion market cap at $703.75 per coin. So, it’s not just about the price tag; it’s about the hustle. 💪

In 2021, Zcash peaked at a $3.74 billion market value while trading around $300 per coin. Today? It’s laughing all the way to the blockchain bank. Ha! 😂

ZEC’s Flipping Spree: Who’s Next, Litecoin?

At 3:30 a.m. UTC on October 31 (because crypto never sleeps), Zcash officially flipped Monero in market cap. ZEC: $6.03 billion. XMR: $5.95 billion. Shiba Inu? Already in the rearview mirror at $5.79 billion. The “flippening” is real, folks. 🧙‍♂️

When Coinspeaker first noticed Zcash’s rally on September 25, it was trading at $56.29, ranked a lowly 84th. Now? It’s got the crypto world’s attention, thanks to some serious backing from industry bigwigs. NEAR is also riding the wave, thanks to NEAR Intents and ZEC’s use case. Eric Wall called it-and Coinspeaker was there to report it. 📣

Next up on the chopping block? Litecoin (LTC), sitting pretty at the 20th spot with a $7.33 billion market cap. Will Zcash flip it too? With Litecoin’s MimbleWimble (MWEB) tech enabling confidential transactions, it’s not going down without a fight. But Zcash? It’s got momentum-and a flair for the dramatic. 🎭

So, what’s next for Zcash? World domination? A Nobel Prize in Economics? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: this coin is not here to play second fiddle. 🎻✨
