The Zcash (ZEC) price has rallied above the psychological $500 level, 
providing a bullish outlook for the privacy-focused token. This comes amid a 
notable surge in whale accumulation and derivatives activity among crypto 
traders. Why Zcash (ZEC) Price Rallied Above $500 Despite Crypto Market 
Decline CoinMarketCap data show that the Zcash (ZEC) price has rallied above 
$500 again, up over 20% in the last week. This comes despite the crypto market 
downtrend, with Bitcoin trading in a tight range just below the psychological 
$90,000 level. The ZEC surge above $500 comes amid a significant increase in 
whale accumulation, which has contributed to this price surge. Related

The Bear Market? Nansen data show a 47% increase in ZEC whale holdings, with 
the top 100 addresses now holding 66% of the token’s total supply. This has 
likely created a supply shock, sparking a rise in the Zcash (ZEC) price. 
Notably, there has been a 55.36% drop in the supply held by exchanges, further 
highlighting the accumulation trend, with investors likely moving their coins 
off-exchanges for long-term holding. On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain 
also highlighted the accumulation trend among these whales. In an X post, 
Lookchain revealed two newly created wallets that withdrew 26,241 ZEC ($13.5 
million) from Binance. In another post, the on-chain analytics platform 
revealed that another whale withdrew 7,714 ZEC ($4.12 million) from Kraken. 
Lookonchain had also drawn attention to a whale that withdrew 30,000 ZEC 
($13.25 million) from Binance last week. Activity in the derivatives market 
has also contributed to the Zcash (ZEC) price rally above $500. CoinGlass data 
show an increase in the altcoin’s open interest, indicating that traders are 
increasing their positions. Most of these traders are currently long with the 
long/short ratio above 1. This recovery marks a positive for the privacy 
token, which had dropped to as low as $310 earlier this month. ZEC is notably 
the best-performing crypto among the top tokens with a year-to-date (YTD) gain 
of around 800%. ‘Next Stop Is $1,000’ BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes declared 
in an X post that the next stop for the Zcash (ZEC) price is $1,000 following 
its recovery above $500. This represents a potential 100% gain from its 
current price level. The BitMEX co-founder has been bullish on the privacy 
token for some time now, predicting it could eventually reach $10,000. Related

Meanwhile, Zcash’s co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson suggested that the Zcash (ZEC) 
price will continue to rally because of its good product, scarcity, and 
regulatory atmosphere. He noted that privacy is now widely recognized as 
necessary in crypto. As such, the privacy narrative is expected to keep 
fueling this price surge. At the time of writing, the Zcash (ZEC) price is 
trading at around $536, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data 
from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
