Grayscale Experts Said About Further Growth in Zcash’s Share Relative to Bitcoin

• Over the past year, Zcash’s market cap share relative to bitcoin rose from about 0.1% to 1.5%.
• At Grayscale, ZEC’s further upside potential is linked to rising demand for financial privacy.

Grayscale Research experts believe that Zcash (ZEC) still has room to increase its share of the digital currency market. The company said so in a new analytical report.

According to Grayscale, a year ago Zcash’s market cap was about 0.1% of Bitcoin’s, and ZEC was trading at roughly $60. Now the ratio has reached around 1.5%, with the coin priced at about $1,500.

The company considers one of Zcash’s key advantages to be the ability to conduct shielded transactions using zero-knowledge proofs. As of July 2026, they accounted for about 90% of transactions on the network.

Grayscale experts expect demand for financial privacy to grow amid the expansion of digital payments and AI-powered data analytics tools. At the same time, Bitcoin remains the dominant asset in the digital currency sector.

Earlier, ZEC posted a sharp rally. In September, the asset reached about $1,400, gaining more than 2,500% over the year. 

Growing interest in Zcash was also accompanied by the development of investment products. In August, Grayscale launched the first spot ZEC-based ETF under the ticker ZCSH. 

In addition, amid ZEC’s rise, Zcash mining profitability increased. According to Grayscale estimates, the metric per megawatt-hour was about four times higher than the comparable Bitcoin metric.
