Zcash traded at $1,202.37 on October 8, 2026, after declining 7.98% over the prior 24 hours. The drop extended a difficult week for the privacy-focused cryptocurrency, which has lost 13.72% of its value over the past seven days.

Despite the recent pullback, ZEC holds a gain of 4.70% over the past 30 days, suggesting the longer-term trend remains modestly positive even as short-term selling pressure has intensified.

Zcash's market capitalization stood at $22.04 billion at the time of reporting, reflecting the combined impact of price declines across the weekly timeframe. The asset continues to rank among the larger cryptocurrency projects by market value.

Trading activity over the past day and week points to a period of sustained selling in ZEC markets, with the 24-hour and seven-day losses both representing notable drawdowns from recent levels.
