Zcash Price Surges Above $1,000 Amid Growing Demand and Institutional Interest

Zcash (ZEC) continues its impressive rally above $1,000, supported by strong bullish momentum and growing demand for its privacy-focused features. Institutional interest remains high, with Grayscale's ZEC-focused exchange-traded fund reaching a record high.
