$ZEC is back in focus, but what stands out to me is not just the price. As of April 4, 2026, Zcash is trading around $233–$236, with a market cap near $3.9 billion and daily volume roughly between $148 million and $210 million. That tells me interest is still alive even after some cooling in activity. More importantly, the project is still shipping real updates.
The biggest recent official move came on March 26, when the Zcash Foundation released Zebra 4.3.0, urging node operators to upgrade because the release includes critical security fixes, ZIP-235 support, and performance improvements. On the wallet side, Zashi has officially become Zodl, with the team saying users do not need to change seed phrases or move funds. That matters because it shows the ecosystem is trying to simplify user experience while keeping the privacy mission intact.
My view: $ZEC still looks stronger as a long-term privacy infrastructure play than as a simple momentum trade. Price can stay volatile, but the combination of active protocol work, wallet development, and a clear privacy narrative keeps Zcash relevant. If market conditions improve, ZEC could attract fresh attention again because very few crypto assets still own the privacy niche this clearly.#ZECUSDT #MarchNonfarmPayrollsIncoming #CryptoMarketSeesVolatility #writetoearn $ZEC
