Over the past 7 days, ZEC not only continued to hit new highs, gaining over 60%, while Bitcoin rose by only 20%, failing twice in its attempts to break the $80,000 mark. ZEC's parabolic surge and distinct "de-Bitcoinization" trend represent one of the most closely watched capital reallocations in the crypto asset market recently.

ZEC's strong breakout marks a structural repricing of capital in the privacy asset sector, boosting other privacy coins to follow suit. Over the same period, Dash (DASH) gained over 40%, Tezos (XTZ) rose 16%, and Monero (XMR) climbed 6%.
