Zcash (ZEC) is trading in the red on Friday, extending a roughly 20% decline over nearly two weeks. The privacy coin is losing adoption and retail demand, with shielded ZEC supply at a 10-month low and ZEC futures Open Interest down over 3% in 24 hours. The technical outlook for ZEC is mildly bearish as bullish momentum declines.
Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows. Despite BTC’s resilience, escalating US-Iran tensions keep inflation concerns elevated, limiting the Crypto King’s upside.
