Traders have turned more optimistic about Zcash (ZEC) after the privacy-focused token surged nearly 62% over the past week. On Friday, ZEC was changing hands around $379.89, up 15% over the last 24 hours and more than 77% over the last month.
The rally has shifted prediction-market odds toward further upside. ZEC is now seen as having a 60% chance of reaching $420 in April, according to Myriad, a prediction market operated by Decrypt’s parent company, Dastan. That would imply an additional roughly 10% move from current levels.
A specific catalyst for ZEC’s jump is difficult to pinpoint from the available information. The broader crypto market has moved higher following a conditional ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, and the move does not appear to be limited to privacy tokens.
Within the privacy category, performance has been mixed but still positive. CoinGecko data shows the category is up 21% on the week, with results largely supported by ZEC and Dash (DASH), which has risen around 48% over the last week of trading. Other tokens with privacy-related exposure have not moved in lockstep: Monero (XMR) is up 6.1% over the week, while ZKsync (ZK) is down 4.4% during the same period.
Zcash has also outperformed major crypto assets recently. Bitcoin was trading around $72,531 on Friday, up about 9% over the last week. Ethereum has gained similarly, rising 8.5% over seven days to trade around $2,226.
Despite the weekly gains, ZEC remains well below prior peaks. The token is still nearly 46% off its November high of $698, and far from its all-time high of $3,191 set in October 2016.
Separately, at the end of March, a critical vulnerability in Zcash node software was patched, a change described as derisking millions of dollars’ worth of tokens.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
