Well, I haven’t been following along and just noticed on CoinGecko that Zora and Zcash crypto are up 300 and 400 percent respectively over the past few months. What news did I miss? Should I get more?
If you are asking these questions, this is the article for you: Weekly Report.
The result is that Crypto Twitter misses everything; Zora and Zcash are not discussed there or anywhere! Here’s what you need to know about the top two trending symbols this week:
#1: Is Zora Crypto the new TikTok? The builder model attracts significant capital
ZORA, which launched in April 2025, remained relatively dormant until July, when its “creator token” ecosystem saw a surge in popularity. The platform now allows artists and communities to mint, trade, and monetize their digital works through custom tokens, blending the meme economy with true creative utility.
Zora’s Q3 revenue reached $5.57 million and had a total TVL of $14 million, according to DeFi Llama.
“By integrating with Robinhood and Coinbase, Zora is connecting Web3 creators to traditional finance,” a company spokesperson said.
99Bitcoins analysts noted that 50% of trading fees are redistributed to creators, giving the platform a model of sustainability rarely seen in token ecosystems.
The bigger idea is salaries. If Zora’s system is successful, teams could pay contractors and creators using performance-linked tokens instead of fixed salaries. Everything is settled on-chain, cutting down on the usual overhead of a payroll system. It’s so cool!
#2: Zcash, Litecoin, and others are riding the market turmoil
Elsewhere, older altcoins have shown amazing resilience. Zcash (ZEC) rose above $225, extending its three-week rally to +35% despite a broader market pullback. Litecoin (LTC) has also shown renewed network growth.
According to Glassnode, more than $630 million in liquidations hit the cryptocurrency market this week as leveraged buyouts unraveled, sending Bitcoin (BTC) briefly falling below $122,000 before rebounding.
Can Zcash (ZEC) Reach $1,000 Again?
Both Bitcoin and Zcash have the same fair emission curve, with miners only being eliminated for the first eight years.
Even Bitcoin was unable to maintain a price above $1,000 until the second halving – after which the price rose to $20,000.

Zcash is working to be a mini Bitcoin. Litecoin, but with actual privacy! Its fundamentals, stronger privacy adoption, better user experience through Zashi, and institutional curiosity are all reasons why it continues to rise. 99Bitcoins analysts believe $300-$400 is the near-term ceiling, although a true return to privacy could push much higher.
Like Zora’s rise, Zcash’s rebound signals the market’s shift toward realism: substance rather than speculation. It seems that altcoin season is just around the corner.
