Zcash Investor Sees 650% Gains, Predicts Monero Will Be Next Big Mover
A seasoned investor has shared his remarkable success in investing in Zcash (ZEC), which he bought when its price dropped significantly. In October 2025, he invested $200 in Zcash and held on to it through the downturn.
Fast forward to this month, ZEC peaked at $1,500, resulting in over 650% unrealized gains for the investor's holdings. With recent price surges, ZEC is being compared to Bitcoin (BTC), with many crypto traders calling it 'Bitcoin insurance.'
The privacy-focused coin has seen a staggering growth of over 4,608%, currently trading at $1,467 on September 21. In the last 12 months, Zcash has been more than 2,796% profitable, outperforming Bitcoin, which is down 25.6%. The key driver of this growth is that institutional investors treat Zcash just like Bitcoin.
The investor also pointed to Monero (XMR) as the next crypto to follow in ZEC's strong performance. With a recent surge of 34.7% over the past month and 90.1% over the past 12 months, XMR is seen as a dominant player within the privacy narrative.
