Zcash (ZEC) has seen a dramatic price increase to about $1,388, with its market cap reaching $23 billion, driven by concerns over Bitcoin's rigid protocol and fixed supply. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson links this rally to fears that Bitcoin's resistance to change is pushing capital toward more flexible cryptocurrencies like ZEC.
