Zcash traded at $1,222 on October 9, 2026, a gain of 1.63% over the prior 24 hours. The daily uptick offered some relief to holders, though it did little to offset broader losses accumulated over the past week.

Over the trailing seven days, ZEC shed 11.64%, reflecting sustained selling pressure across the period. The 30-day picture was comparatively more stable, with the token down just 1.51% over that longer window, suggesting the steepest declines were concentrated in the most recent week.

Zcash's market capitalization stood at $20.61 billion as of the report date, placing it among the larger assets in the cryptocurrency market by that measure. The gap between the short-term weekly loss and the milder monthly decline points to a sharp drawdown that occurred within a compressed timeframe.

The daily recovery, while modest, indicates some buying interest returned in the most recent session. Whether that momentum extends will depend on broader market conditions in the days ahead.
