Zcash (ZEC) climbed 5.87% on October 12, 2026, reaching a price of $1,309.39. The move pushed the privacy-focused cryptocurrency's market capitalization to $21.73 billion.
Looking at a broader time frame, ZEC has gained 13.95% over the past 30 days, suggesting sustained buying interest over the course of the month. The 7-day picture was slightly softer, with the asset edging down 0.45% over that stretch before Monday's recovery.
The single-day gain of 5.87% stands out as one of the more notable moves in the session, bringing ZEC back above its weekly opening level. The interplay between the positive monthly trend and the minor weekly pullback points to some volatility in the near-term trading range.
With a market capitalization of $21.73 billion, Zcash remains a significant asset in the broader cryptocurrency landscape. Today's price action reflects a rebound within an overall upward monthly trajectory.
