Zcash Halving Meets Major Protocol Upgrade: Is the Privacy Asset Track Coming Back to Life?

Recently, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon: ZK privacy technology is no longer just a niche topic among geeks—market capital is starting to flow in this direction. Especially with Zcash’s latest halving coinciding with a tech upgrade, the entire privacy coin sector has returned to the spotlight.

To put it simply, people used to see privacy coins as a gray area, but now the regulatory framework is becoming clearer and the technology is moving toward compliance. Breakthroughs in foundational technologies like ZK proofs can both protect on-chain privacy and meet audit requirements—isn’t this exactly the solution institutions have been waiting for?

From a token perspective, the privacy sector still has obvious valuation gaps. Of course, the specifics depend on the pace of technological rollout and ecosystem development. But the trend is unmistakable—privacy is no longer a niche demand, but a must-have for on-chain infrastructure.
