Zcash (ZEC) traded at $1,505.75 on September 22, 2026, down 2.00% over the prior 24 hours. The modest single-day decline came after a sharp run-up, with the privacy-focused cryptocurrency still showing a 31.42% gain over the past seven days.
The broader monthly picture remains striking. ZEC has climbed 85.43% over the past 30 days, a gain that has pushed the asset's market capitalization to $24.73 billion.
The daily pullback represents a fraction of the ground gained over the past month, suggesting the session's softness reflects routine consolidation following an extended advance. Trading activity on the day reflected cautious near-term sentiment even as the longer-term trend remained strongly positive.
Zcash is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that offers optional shielded transactions using zero-knowledge cryptography. Its recent price action has drawn attention across the broader digital-asset market as it outpaced many larger-cap peers over the 30-day window.
