among the top gainers among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>The privacy-focused coin retested resistance above $215 as altcoins broadly posted modest gains over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Sentiment improved after Bitcoin climbed above $69,000, helping lift the wider market.<\/p>\n<p>ZEC advanced alongside other privacy-oriented tokens, including Tornado Cash, Oasis Network, and Dash.<\/p>\n<p>Monero (XMR) also recorded gains, with the token rising nearly 3% over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>What could help Zcash price higher?<\/h2>\n<p>While the broader market rebound has supported Zcash (ZEC), other factors may also be contributing to the token\u2019s recent bounce.<\/p>\n<p>ZEC appears to be drawing momentum from a new report by the United States Department of the Treasury, which acknowledged that crypto privacy tools such as token mixers can serve legitimate purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The report states that such tools may be used for \u201clegitimate financial privacy purposes,\u201d marking a shift in tone from previous official positions regarding mixers and other privacy-focused technologies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLawful users of digital assets may leverage mixers to enable financial privacy when transacting through public blockchains,\u201d the Treasury said in its report to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The token has also benefited from ecosystem developments.<\/p>\n<p>The team behind a new Zcash-powered mobile wallet recently secured $25 million in a funding round backed by several venture capital firms active in the digital asset sector.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) has secured over $25 million in funding from a16z,

from a key support level near $200.<\/p>\n<p>If upward momentum strengthens, the token could test initial resistance in the $290\u2013$300 range, with a potential move toward $400 if buying pressure
