Zcash (ZEC) traded at $1,468.28 on September 24, 2026, posting a 24-hour decline of 11.05% as selling pressure weighed on the privacy-focused cryptocurrency. The pullback came despite the asset maintaining notable strength over longer timeframes.

Over the past seven days, ZEC remained up 9.09%, and its 30-day performance stood at a gain of 74.22%, reflecting a period of significant appreciation heading into the session. The single-day loss trimmed but did not erase those broader advances.

Zcash carried a market capitalization of $25.46 billion at the time of reporting, placing it among the larger assets in the cryptocurrency market by that measure.

The day's price action illustrated the volatility common to crypto markets, where sharp intraday moves can occur even against a backdrop of sustained medium-term momentum.
