It is the last hours of 2025 and cryptocurrencies have still not turned upward. BTC While trying to protect $88,000, examples like ADA Coin experienced daily losses exceeding 5%. But we have a new year ahead of us and corporate growth is expected to accelerate with many major financial companies getting involved in crypto. Hayes still has his eyes on ZEC Coin.
The Future of ZEC Coin
It was one of the best performing altcoins in the last quarter. Hayes’ support, increased interest in privacy altcoins, and a major update to the network have seen the price of Zcash (ZEC) rise exponentially. The altcoin, which is currently continuing the day above $ 541, continues to ignore the negative atmosphere.
Arthur Hayes is the largest privacy-focused altcoin of ZEC He expects it to reach greater heights in 2026. Even if the Fed does not accelerate QT in 2026, the former CEO of BitMEX said liquidity will return to the markets. It must be because in cryptocurrencies Although we saw inflows in the ETF channel this year, the order books of altcoins melted and cryptocurrencies with high inflation suffered devastation.
ZEC Coin, which hit a new low of nearly $300 just a month ago, has benefited from the rise of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies amid institutional interest in crypto. Hayes expects this to continue and thinks that risk appetite will focus on privacy altcoins again and the price will exceed $ 1000 next year.
ZEC Coin Price Predictions
Rising from $70 in October to over $735 in November ZEC Coin He made one of the rallies reminiscent of the old bull days. The big rise had just begun in October when Hayes announced his support for ZEC Coin with the network update. Considering that the peak weeks ago was near $ 775, the $ 1000 target does not seem impossible for 2026.
The analyst with the nickname CryptoCurb also supports Hayes’ prediction and says that $ 1000 will be an easy target after the price rises above the 50 WMA with the break of the upward triangle.
Third analyst Eric Van Tassel wrote:
“My base case for ZEC remains unchanged. I still think there will be a move towards the thousand-dollar level, but there needs to be a proper reset first. The price has never quite hit $400, and that level is still the most logical level for a corrective pullback and reaccumulation. This reset is something that would then enable a sustained rise, not something that would invalidate it.”
