According to AMBCrypto, Zcash (ZEC) surged 17% on December 27, 2025, reaching $515, marking a 43% monthly recovery. ZEC outperformed Solana (SOL) in speculative interest, surpassing it in global perpetual futures volume. Over the past 24 hours, ZEC’s perp volume hit $2.9 billion, ranking third behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. Privacy-focused coins like ZEC and Monero led the best-performing narrative in 2025, delivering over 250% average annual returns, while Solana-dominant memecoins saw a 62% average loss. Analyst Peter Costi linked ZEC’s price rally to growing interest in private transactions. ZEC’s recent price action has reclaimed the 50-day moving average, suggesting a bullish tilt, though a drop below $450 could hinder recovery.
