Zcash Climbs to an Eight-Year High as Futures Positions Nearly Double

The combination of price strength and increased open interest typically indicates stronger liquidity and attention, but also raises the risk of volatility from crowded positioning and potential liquidations. Spillover impact on broader majors appears limited, but privacy-coin sentiment may firm.
