Zcash Stays Firm, Bitcoin and Ethereum Sideways, XRP ETF Hopes - November 18, 2025, 9:20 AM IST
Zcash remains resilient above $688 as Bitcoin consolidates at $95K and Ethereum hovers near $3.2K. XRP finds support at $2.25 with ETF headlines and high funding; privacy coins lead Q4 2025 trends.
Tuesday opens with continued resilience in privacy giants and ETFs in focus:
- Bitcoin consolidates near $95,000 (-0.58%) with high volume ($769.21M, +81.68%), funding flat (0%) as risk-off mood keeps markets subdued. All eyes remain on $95K for direction as volatility abates.
- Ethereum holds at $3,200 (-0.17%), volume climbs ($420.93M, +142.86%), funding at 0.03%; major outflows persist but $3,200 holds as near-term support.
- Zcash stands out, up 2.1% to $688.56 on $388.18M volume (+6.03%), supported by its surging privacy narrative, Coinbase search leadership, and network upgrades, with halving anticipation driving demand.
- XRP up 0.41% to $2.253, volume jumps to $165.91M (+34.78%), funding 0.89%. With four spot ETFs launching and more expected, institutional inflows could drive a rally from the $2.25 base, though liquidation and resistance near $2.40 remain hurdles.
