Interestingly, although the overall market sentiment in the crypto space is not particularly optimistic right now, data shows that privacy coins performed surprisingly well during the Q4 2025 rebound. According to recent research published by Grayscale, among all mainstream crypto assets, privacy coins have become the most eye-catching category, with Zcash (ZEC) leading the pack, ranking first in terms of growth among privacy coins during the same period.

This phenomenon is worth pondering. Generally speaking, privacy coins tend to be overlooked in environments with heavy regulatory pressure, but the current performance indicates that the market's recognition of privacy protection needs is increasing. Whether institutional investors or individual investors, it seems they are re-evaluating the value of privacy assets. ZEC's ability to outperform other privacy coins may reflect its relative advantages in technological innovation and ecological applications.

ZEC this wave is really awesome, has privacy coins turned the tide? Optimistic, maybe regulatory attitudes are also loosening The demand for privacy should have been prioritized long ago Once Grayscale data was released, everything changed; ZEC indeed has some real skills Wait, is this another scheme to harvest retail investors... Privacy coins taking off, are institutions quietly accumulating? Honestly, the ZEC ecosystem is indeed more robust than other privacy coins A rebound is a rebound, just don't fall back again This is truly a safe-haven asset, but unfortunately it has been demonized The demand for privacy will always exist, it's just too late to realize this now

ZEC this wave is really amazing, privacy coins are on the rise --- I used to think privacy coins would cool off, but I didn't expect this rebound to be so strong --- Despite the heavy regulatory pressure, it still leads the gains, which shows there is indeed demand --- Is Grayscale data reliable? I always feel it might be a bit exaggerated --- ZEC is leading the pack? Then I need to add some positions --- Privacy protection will be valued sooner or later; those who got in early are now enjoying the benefits --- No wonder privacy coins are resistant to drops; who doesn't want privacy, haha --- ZEC's technology is indeed good, and the ecosystem is also improving. Compared to other privacy coins, it definitely has advantages --- Privacy coins are the most eye-catching during the Q4 rebound; this signal is strong enough, right? --- It might be too late to start paying attention to privacy coins now

On-chain data shows that ZEC is indeed somewhat abnormal this time. I backtested the upward trend curve from the Gray Report yesterday. From a technical perspective, the support levels look quite solid, but the regulatory risk factor is still quite high... Forget it, since I can't see through it anyway, I'll just go all in.

ZEC has indeed held strong this time. Is this a signal for privacy coins making a comeback?

actually™ the grayscale data on privacy coins is interesting but let me be precise here – zec's outperformance isn't exactly non-trivial from a technical standpoint. the real alpha is that institutional capital finally grasped the nash equilibrium problem with traditional privacy solutions. regulatory pressure creates market inefficiency, simple as that.

ZEC's recent surge is indeed incredible. Does it feel like privacy coins are making a comeback? After being hammered so badly by regulations before, now it’s actually able to resist the decline?

ZEC this time is truly outstanding; privacy coins are finally getting some recognition. --- Wait, hasn't regulation been cracking down all along? Why is it rising instead... --- Is Grayscale's data trustworthy? It feels like this round is all about hype. --- The demand for privacy definitely exists, but how long ZEC can sustain depends on policy attitudes. --- Finally, a coin is bucking the trend in a bear market; this is getting interesting. --- The key is that the ecosystem needs to keep up; just having privacy as a selling point isn't enough. --- Are institutions re-evaluating privacy coins? That’s a pretty big signal. --- ZEC is leading this time; will it be hammered back down next time... --- The demand for privacy protection has always been there; it was just demonized before. --- Not bragging, but ZEC's technology is indeed more reliable than other privacy coins.
