Zcash Surges 2564% Over Past Year Amid Privacy Coin Rally

Zcash (ZEC) has outperformed major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) with a 2564.9% annual gain. Despite a broader market correction on September 16, 2026, following the failure of the CLARITY Act (US digital-asset market-structure bill) in the Senate, ZEC has rallied due to growing demand for privacy and the launch of a Grayscale ZEC ETF.
