This winter, large holders of ZEC (Zcash) are demonstrating a concentrated deployment of privacy assets with real capital!

According to on-chain data, 11 addresses with millions of dollars each opened long positions simultaneously at the $446 price level, totaling $7.48 million. The most aggressive one directly invested $3.88 million, even leveraging 10x. Contract funds saw a net inflow surge of 749% within 4 hours—this is clearly not the playbook of retail investors, but a collective signal from big capital towards the privacy sector.

🔥 Why are large holders aggressively increasing their positions at this time?

The policy window for privacy needs has opened. Last year's court ruling in the U.S. cleared compliance hurdles for privacy technology, even prompting the Ethereum Foundation to establish a 47-member privacy research team, integrating privacy capabilities into the underlying protocol. This is not just a technical upgrade; it’s a redefinition of the entire ecosystem’s view on the importance of privacy.

Wall Street funds are also operating behind the scenes. A certain institutional trust fund has opened private placements to qualified investors, raising over $150 million in a single month. Traditional financial institutions are quietly building positions through compliant channels.

The technical outlook is also brewing for a breakthrough. ZEC is currently testing the $422-$457 range repeatedly. Once it effectively breaks through the critical resistance at $457, the next target is directly at $550. Although the MACD has already shown a death cross signal, big holders are still willing to buy heavily on dips, indicating they are betting on a more vigorous secondary rally.

💡 Why does ZEC attract so much institutional attention?

The answer lies in its unique attributes. Compared to other privacy coins, ZEC’s zk-SNARKs technology truly balances privacy and verifiability, which is what compliant institutions need most. Against the backdrop of exploding privacy demands and gradually friendly policies, ZEC is becoming the preferred tool for institutional capital to deploy in the privacy sector.
