zcash:native : $10.6B mcap, $537K in annual fees.
ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d : $200M mcap, $4.62M in annual fees.
One of these is mispriced. The market is starting to figure out which.
ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d ran from $1.30 to $3.55 in a week.
Today's volume printed $4.44M — north of 7x the trailing average. This is what repricing looks like in real time.
The catalysts behind the move:
Vitalik publicly pushed $2.6M through the protocol. Not a tweet, not an endorsement — actual flow.
The Ethereum Foundation folded Railgun into the Kohaku SDK. Any wallet can now bolt on Privacy Mode without writing a line of ZK code.
Coinbase published research confirming the cryptography is quantum-resistant.
a16z flagged privacy as their #1 crypto thesis for 2026.
Grayscale added it to their 2026 Outlook.
The EU's AMLR delists Monero and Zcash in July 2027.
@RAILGUN_Project is the only compliant option left standing.
74% of the supply is staked. Float is thin enough to feel every bid.
What hasn't happened yet:
Kohaku integrations are still in the pipeline. MetaMask, Rainbow, and Ambire have all signaled.
Ledger was just confirmed and isn't reflected in price.
Shielded TVL sits at $94M against Ethereum's $75B. The addressable market is roughly 800x current usage.
Every new wallet that ships tightens a float that's already barely liquid.
Run the math: ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d at $10 is a $572M coin. Against the Zcash comp, that's still cheap.
