The development not only boosted institutional interest but also created significant demand pressure on the price.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"683\">As of September 2025, ZEC was trading at $146.65, up 0.9% on the day, maintaining its rally momentum.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"683\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53224 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zcash-300x127.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"886\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zcash-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zcash-1024x432.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zcash-768x324.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/zcash.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monero_XMR_Maintains_Its_Strength\"><\/span>Monero (XMR) Maintains Its Strength<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As one of the most established names in the sector, <strong>Monero<\/strong> (<strong>XMR<\/strong>) also delivered a strong performance.
