Five Altcoins Face Key Events as Breakouts Continue

Five altcoins broke out in mid-August and are now facing key events that could extend or end their move. Uniswap bottomed on August 14, while Solana's volume spiked on August 19. Zcash, Monero, and Hyperliquid then broke out together on August 22.

Zcash, ranked 10th with a price of $838.78, has cleared its November 2025 cycle high near $750. The Grayscale-listed US spot Zcash product launched on NYSE Arca on August 25 under the ticker ZCSH. Notably, the breakout preceded the listing by three days.

The next extension for ZEC sits at $1,099, an eight-year high rather than a record. A coinholder poll on the NU7 upgrade closes September 14, with one question asking whether to replace the halving schedule with a smooth issuance curve.
