Zcash price action this week
ZEC is −0.2% over the last hour, +2.3% over 24 hours, −8.1% over 7 days and −24.3% over 30 days. Its 7-day closing range runs from $1,062 to $1,305, and at $1,172 it sits 45% of the way up that range.
Zcash vs Bitcoin
Over 7 days ZEC has underperformed Bitcoin by 6.5 percentage points (−8.1% against −1.6% for BTC), and over 30 days it has underperformed by 25.7 points (−24.3% against +1.4%). A typical ZEC day moves ±6.1% against ±1.8% for Bitcoin, so ZEC is about 3.3× as volatile and usually exaggerates Bitcoin's moves.
Zcash all-time high and recovery
The Zcash all-time high is $3,192, reached on 28 Oct 2016, 3,643 days ago. To get back to that record, ZEC would need to rise 172% from here. 31 of 113 tracked coins are closer to their own ATH, which ranks ZEC 32nd on the ATH ranking.
Zcash in the four-year cycle
Zcash set its all-time high on 28 Oct 2016, in the cycle that peaked around the turn of 2018, and has not beaten it in the current cycle that began with the Bitcoin halving of 20 Apr 2024. That record is now 10.0 years old. Only 55 of 113 tracked coins have set a new all-time high since that halving.
Zcash volatility and trading volume
A typical day moves ZEC about ±6.1%, wilder than the median coin's ±4.7%, so a one-day swing beyond ±12.2% would be unusual for it. Zcash traded $1.02B in the last 24 hours, 5.1% of its $19.92B market cap.
About Zcash
Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in 2016. It uses zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) so shielded transactions hide sender, receiver and amount, and like Bitcoin it is mined and capped at 21 million coins.
What moves the Zcash price
ZEC trades on interest in financial privacy, shielded-pool adoption and exchange listing decisions, since some venues restrict privacy coins. It has a long history of sharp rallies after years of decline.
