Zcash pumps 30% after Arthur Hayes’ ‘vibe check’ tips $10K target

Zcash rallied 490% in the last 30 days and also crossed the $5 billion market capitalization threshold for the first time on Sunday.

Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash has surged 30% in the last 24 hours after crypto entrepreneur Arthur Hayes predicted the token would eventually reach $10,000.
