Delphi Digital report on Zcash: share of private pools rises to 30%

  • The share of ZEC in shielded pools rose from 11% to about 30% over the year
  • Nearly 1 million ZEC moved to private addresses since October 2025
  • ZEC 30-day transaction volume was $285 million versus $348 million for BTC
  • The Tachyon upgrade with post-quantum protection will be completed by the end of 2026
Why it matters: Growing private transaction activity and the absence of SEC claims strengthen Zcash's position as an institutional privacy asset, especially amid Grayscale's interest in a spot ETF.
