Overview
Bitcoin rebounded after a sharp weekly drop, but the recovery has not lifted several previously “hot” altcoin trades. Privacy-focused tokens are among the hardest hit, with Monero and Dash down on the week and Zcash extending a multi-month slide. Separate reporting also ties Zcash’s continued weakness to the period following the last disclosed ZEC purchase by Cypherpunk Technologies, a Winklevoss-backed Zcash treasury company.

Why now
- BTC price action shifted from a weekly low near $60,000 to around $69,000 by Saturday morning in New York.
- Privacy coins posted large 7-day losses during the same selloff window.
- Zcash’s decline is being framed around the period since Cypherpunk’s last disclosed buy.
Why it matters
- Shows a divergence: BTC stabilized while privacy tokens remained among the weakest segments.
- ZEC’s drawdown is being tracked against treasury-company purchase disclosures.
- Highlights how quickly “hot trades” can unwind after a market-wide selloff.
