The post Zcash Price Soars 45%: Here’s Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Zcash (ZEC) price has experienced a remarkable surge, with its price climbing over 45% in the past 24 hours. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency has significantly outperformed the broader market, standing strong at over $600. This increase is an upswing extension of a pattern with a 20% increase in an otherwise downward market. The increase in the value of Zcash is against the backdrop of a wider cryptocurrency selloff, spearheaded by Bitcoin price crash.

This has been compared to the long-term Bitcoin strategy of MicroStrategy, indicating that the price of Zcash is already being institutional and used as a privacy reserve asset. The Grayscale Zcash Trust reflects the growing interest of institutional investors whose assets under management (AUM) has recently hit 200 million. These massive purchases assist in minimizing the supply in circulation, whereby they provide extra price support to ZEC.
