Zcash (ZEC) was trading at $1,316.32 on October 5, 2026, a decline of 1.30% over the prior 24 hours. The move continued a broader short-term retreat for the privacy-focused cryptocurrency.
Over the past seven days, ZEC has shed 15.50%, reflecting sustained selling pressure across the near-term window. The weekly loss stands as a notable contrast to the asset's longer-term trajectory.
Despite the recent weakness, Zcash has gained 30.08% over the past 30 days, indicating that a significant portion of last month's rally remains intact. The asset's market capitalization stood at $22.58 billion at the time of this writing.
Zcash's price action over the past month illustrates the volatility common to the broader crypto market, where sharp multi-week gains can be followed by shorter-term corrections without fully reversing the underlying move.
