Cryptocurrencies price prediction: XRP, Zcash & SEC – American Wrap 17 September

Zcash Price Forecast: ZEC eyes $1,500 breakout as retail demand expands

Zcash (ZEC) rises sharply above $1,400 on Thursday as the privacy-focused token defies the broader cryptocurrency market's doldrums this week, driven primarily by macro uncertainty and regulatory headwinds.

The United States (US) Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced on Thursday an order granting conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs), also known as exchanges, to trade tokenized National Market System (NMS) stock by tapping liquidity pools.
