Social buzz around the privacy coin spiked then faded right before the real launch moment 🦇
The Crowd Dipped Before the Launch 💉

Ahead of that the asset jumped from 509 dollars on August 18 to around 878 dollars by August 23 for a 72 percent surge. Mentions hit 232 on August 22 which is six times the normal August level but attention slipped back to baseline by launch day.
Activity peaked one day before the price top suggesting the crowd arrived early and left the party soon after 📉
From the 878 dollars high the token slipped to roughly 789 dollars a 10 percent pullback.
Privacy Edge Could Challenge Bitcoin 🧠
Grayscale Research sees ZEC as a potential rival to Bitcoin network effects as demand for real financial privacy rises with AI surveillance growing.
Bitcoin stays dominant but the report notes Zcash mixes similar traits with strong privacy tools that could gain value against quantum threats 🔮 The ecosystem keeps building with intents tech for cross chain use turning it into a private hub without needing wide merchant support.
ZEC already multiplied 19 times over the past year yet stays under 1 percent of Bitcoin market cap leaving upside room according to the firm 👁️
