Zcash (ZEC) fell 8.84% on September 29, 2026, dropping to $1,420.08 as selling pressure weighed on the privacy-focused cryptocurrency. The decline extended a shorter-term slide, with ZEC also down 5.50% over the trailing seven-day period.
Despite the near-term weakness, Zcash's 30-day performance tells a notably different story. The asset gained 69.14% over the past month, a move that pushed its market capitalization to $26.44 billion.
The single-session loss erases a portion of those recent gains, reflecting the volatility that frequently accompanies sharp run-ups in crypto markets. ZEC's market cap of $26.44 billion still reflects a substantially higher valuation than where the asset stood 30 days prior.
As of the September 29 close, Zcash continues to trade at $1,420.08, with the direction of near-term price action remaining dependent on broader market conditions and ongoing interest in privacy-oriented digital assets.
