Zcash (ZEC) climbed 3.85% over the past 24 hours to reach $1,245.92, according to market data from October 14, 2026. The move lifted the privacy-focused cryptocurrency's market capitalization to $21.47 billion.
Despite the daily advance, ZEC remains down 4.77% over the trailing seven-day period, indicating that recent selling pressure has not been fully reversed. The token has, however, gained 9.43% over the past 30 days, suggesting broader monthly momentum remains positive.
The divergence between the short-term weekly decline and the longer-term monthly gain reflects the kind of volatility that has characterized the broader digital asset market. ZEC's one-month performance outpaces its near-term setback, leaving the net 30-day trend in positive territory.
Traders and market observers will likely watch whether ZEC can sustain daily gains and close the gap on its weekly losses in the sessions ahead. At current levels, the asset's market capitalization of $21.47 billion places it among the more established tokens in the crypto space.
