Zcash Up Roughly 19x in a Year; Grayscale Says It Remains Undervalued

Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash has risen roughly 19x over the past year, yet its market capitalization remains below 1% of Bitcoin's. Digital asset manager Grayscale says Zcash is still undervalued, with financial privacy, cybersecurity development, and cross-chain connectivity potentially helping it expand its market share. As of Aug. 29, Bitcoin's market cap stood at $1.56 trillion, while Zcash's was $13.74 billion — about 0.88% of Bitcoin's. That puts Bitcoin at roughly 114 times Zcash's market cap. Grayscale calculated that if ZEC were to reach 2%, 5%, and 10% of Bitcoin's market cap, the implied prices would be $1,622, $4,054, and $8,109, respectively; the firm stressed these scenarios are not price predictions. On Aug. 25, Grayscale's Zcash ETF, trading under the ticker ZCSH, moved from OTCQX to NYSE Arca, giving investors exposure to spot ZEC without directly holding tokens or managing wallets and private keys. Zcash uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism with a fixed 21 million supply and supports zero-knowledge proofs to hide transaction details. Its intents technology can coordinate cross-chain transactions based on user goals, such as swapping other digital assets into ZEC.

Former Coinbase CTO Balaji: Privacy Is the Missing Layer in Crypto's Ideological Shift

Balaji Srinivasan, former CTO of Coinbase, said on a Cypherpunk podcast that crypto is more of an ideological movement than a business. He argued banks and political systems have failed, making exit and self-sovereignty necessary — with privacy as the missing piece. He framed Bitcoin's two key innovations as Ethereum-style programmability and Zcash-style privacy, and said the current phase through 2030 belongs to privacy, powered by ZK tech and applications like ZKYC and ZK DEX.

Miden to launch privacy stablecoin USDCx with mainnet debut

Zero-knowledge blockchain Miden plans to roll out a privacy-focused stablecoin, USDCx, when its mainnet goes live later this month, according to Techub, citing CoinDesk. The token will be backed by Circle’s xReserve infrastructure and remain pegged 1:1 to USDC. Miden said USDCx is designed to let users transact with privacy by default while still allowing selective disclosure when needed for compliance. The project said the stablecoin uses client-side proving, meaning transactions are executed on users’ devices instead of being publicly broadcast onchain. Miden framed the product as an attempt to address the tension between the transparency of public blockchains and the privacy requirements of institutional finance. The company said the stablecoin could be used across payments, trading, payroll and corporate treasury functions, and described it as a key building block for what it calls “PriFi,” or privacy finance infrastructure.
