Multicoin Capital co-founder Tushar Jain said the firm’s recent investment in Zcash was driven by a convergence of stronger market traction, improving infrastructure and a broader return to crypto’s privacy roots. Speaking on the latest Bankless podcast released May 19, Jain argued that Zcash has moved from a “left for dead” asset into a credible private store-of-value contender. Jain said Multicoin had watched Zcash for years without being convinced. The asset, in his view, had long suffered from weak attention, poor usability and limited evidence that privacy demand could translate into durable market interest. That changed after Zcash rallied sharply, corrected, and still retained both community intensity and a higher market baseline than in prior years. Multicoin’s Zcash Thesis “When I see something like that, I always pause and wonder, is this some manufactured thing? Is it sustainable? Is there a real groundswell of support here?” Jain said. “And when you see the price do what it

Bankless has been looking past the usual “partnership announcement” narrative and instead focused on what the new Hyperliquid (HYPE), Coinbase (COIN), and Circle (CRCL) deal could realistically change for USDC. In its latest write-up, the outlet argues the collaboration is more than public relations, especially at a time when stablecoin momentum has started to pick up but the deeper numbers have not shifted as quickly as some investors might expect. Bankless frames USDC’s moment as meaningful, but also incomplete—while positioning Hyperliquid as the missing platform that could help Circle’s stablecoin translate momentum into real market share. The USDC Deal As reported by Bitcoinist last week, Coinbase said it is expanding its role by becoming the official treasury deployer of USDC on Hyperliquid. In the plan, Coinbase treats USDC as an Aligned Quote Asset (AQA), while Hyperliquid’s USDH token is expected to be phased out gradually. Related Reading: Hyperliquid ETFs Send HYPE Closer

Is ZEC ready to spike above $700?
The ZEC technical structure continues to strengthen after breaking above a key macro resistance level that had capped price action for an extended period. Following a successful breakout above a long-standing descending trendline, the asset has continued to hold above key levels that previously served as strong resistance throughout the broader downtrend. The move signals a potential shift in momentum as bullish pressure gradually returns to the chart. How Zcash Momentum Continues Building After Technical Breakout Zcash is showing signs of renewed technical strength after completing a significant compound breakout above both a long-standing descending trendline and the critical $540 macro resistance zone. Technical analyst Ardi mentioned on X that the asset has also closed above the previous lower high near $560 for the first time since the broader shift in market structure.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has suggested that Zcash (ZEC) could eventually reach 10% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization, a long-term bullish thesis on privacy coins rather than a near-term price forecast. Based on ZEC’s circulating supply of around 16 million tokens, that scenario would imply a price in the high four-figure range, roughly $8,000–$10,000, depending on Bitcoin’s valuation. A Chart Pattern Worth Watching On the technical side, traders point to a possible cup-and-handle pattern, but this is a subjective chart formation with no guarantee of outcome. Resistance is often cited around $625–$650, with some speculative projections suggesting a move toward $1,000, though this depends heavily on broader market conditions and is not a confirmed target. The target also lines up with ZEC’s 1.618 Fibonacci extension, drawn from a $745 swing high down to a $185 swing low. Privacy Coins Pull Ahead ZEC is not moving alone. Monero and Dash, both privacy-focused tokens, have also poste
