Zcash (ZEC) surged over 4.3% to $518 following important protocol upgrades announced by ZODL founder Josh Swihart. This rally increased ZEC's market cap to $8.65 billion, expanding its lead over Monero by nearly $1 billion. The upgrades include technical improvements like the Orchard-to-Ironwood migration and enhanced wallet features. However, compliance experts warn that privacy coins like ZEC may face regulatory bans due to challenges in meeting anti-money laundering rules, posing risks for their future in traditional finance.
