Zcash ($ZEC) has 12x'd YTD, driven by its halving and record shielded adoption with over 30% of total supply now fully private in encrypted pools. The Zcash narrative proves that privacy is now mandatory in a transparent, surveilled world. In my opinion, $PROVE is the single purest leveraged play on the entire privacy explosion: ➡ Universal demand capture: every privacy app (Zcash, private L2s, shielded DeFi, private AI) needs cheap zk-proofs; Succinct is the only scalable decentralized prover network. ➡ Zero protocol risk: wins no matter which privacy coin or chain dominates; monetizes proof compute itself (10-100x cheaper than centralized options). ➡ Perfect flywheel tokenomics: provers stake $PROVE, fees paid in $PROVE, revenue to stakers; higher privacy usage = exploding proof volume = $PROVE = must-own infrastructure token. $PROVE is also one of the most undervalued projects under $100M MC securing over $5b in TVL with real usage. I expect this to correct swiftly within EOY
