Zcash Co-Founder Predicts $5,000 Price Target for End-2026

Zcash (ZEC) has been on a tear lately, gaining over 100% in value since September's sharp rally. The cryptocurrency is now trading around $1,550-$1,650.

This surge has caught the attention of market participants and analysts alike, with Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson predicting that the asset could reach a price of $5,000 by the end of 2026.

The forecast is based on several factors, including increased whale activity, growing interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, and organic volatility surrounding Zcash.

While some technical analysts see potential for further gains, with the $1,800-$2,000 region being a key area of focus, others caution that ZEC may need to consolidate before attempting another move upwards.
