Zcash (ZEC) rose 20.21% over the past 24 hours to reach $1,001.01 on September 4, 2026, crossing the four-digit price threshold as buying pressure continued to mount across the privacy-focused cryptocurrency.
The single-day gain extends a broader upward trend. ZEC has climbed 25.40% over the past seven days and 94.32% over the past 30 days, reflecting sustained and accelerating demand. The asset's market capitalization stands at $16 billion.
The move marks a significant milestone for Zcash, which had not previously traded at these levels in recent memory. The crossing of the $1,001.01 price point underscores the magnitude of the month-long rally, which has effectively doubled the asset's value within a single calendar month.
No single catalyst has been identified from the available data to explain the surge. The momentum across multiple timeframes — daily, weekly, and monthly — indicates that buying activity has been consistent rather than concentrated in a single session.
