The "Shielded Supply Overview" chart for ZEC (Zcash) shows a significant and accelerating increase in the Orchard Pool (green area) since late 2023, now totaling 3,883,001 ZEC. This growth indicates a strong trend towards increased privacy usage within the Zcash ecosystem, potentially signaling growing demand for its core privacy features.
