Had grok analyze a few reasons behind ZEC's surge: 1. November halving 2. Arthur Hayes calling for $1,000, triggering a short squeeze - Derivatives market OI (open interest) surged 19.55% to $1.1 billion, led by leveraged longs. 3. Explosive demand for privacy, Shielded Pool hit an all-time high - Global regulations tightening by 2025 (CBDC, on-chain tracking), reigniting the privacy coin narrative. 4. Grayscale Zcash Trust, Hyperliquid launching ZEC leveraged trading, institutional funds flowing in. I guess it's mainly thanks to Arthur, kinda gives off those SBF 'sell SOL at 3' vibes.
