And Did ZEC Crypto Do a 10x Last Month WTF?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Uh, hm, I haven\u2019t been keeping up and just noticed on CoinGecko that Zora crypto and Zcash are up 300 and 400 percent, respectively over the last few months. What was the news I missed? Should I be getting more?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re asking these questions, then this is the article for you: the Weekly Roundup.<\/p>\n

The upshot is that Crypto Twitter<\/a> misses everything; Zora and Zcash weren\u2019t discussed there or really anywhere! Here\u2019s what you need to know about the two top tokens<\/a> trending this week:<\/p>\n

#1: Is Zora Crypto The New TikTok? Creator Model Draws Major Capital<\/h2>\n

The ZORA token, launched in April 2025, remained relatively dormant until July, when its \u201ccreator token\u201d ecosystem experienced a surge in popularity. The platform now allows artists and communities to mint, trade, and monetize their digital work through custom tokens, blending the meme economy with real creative utility.<\/p>\n

Zora\u2019s Q3 revenue reached $5.57 million and has a bridged TVL of $14 million, according to DeFi Llama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy integrating with Robinhood and Coinbase, Zora is bridging Web3 creators with traditional finance,\u201d a company spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

99Bitcoins analysts noted that 50% of trading fees are redistributed to creators, giving the platform a sustainability model rarely seen in token ecosystems.<\/p>\n

The bigger idea is payroll. If Zora\u2019s system takes off, teams could pay contractors and creators with performance-linked tokens rather than static salaries. Everything settles on-chain, slashing the usual overhead of payroll system. It\u2019s pretty cool!<\/p>\n

#2: Zcash, Litecoin, and Others Ride Market Turbulence<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere, legacy altcoins showed surprising resilience. Zcash (ZEC) climbed above $225, extending its three-week rally to +35% despite a broader market pullback. Litecoin (LTC) also showed renewed network growth.<\/p>\n

According to Glassnode<\/a>, over $630 million in liquidations hit the crypto market this week as leveraged longs unwound, sending Bitcoin (BTC) briefly below $122,000 before rebounding.<\/p>\n

Can Zcash (ZEC) Hit $1,000 Again?<\/h2>\n
\n

Bitcoin and Zcash both have the same fair, front-loaded emission curve, where it\u2019s just miners dumping for the first eight years.<\/p>\n

Even Bitcoin couldn\u2019t sustain a price above $1,000 until its second halving \u2013 after which it skyrocketed to $20,000.<\/p>\n
