Zcash (ZEC) dropped 4.71% over the past 24 hours to trade at $1,180.12 on October 17, 2026, continuing a stretch of negative performance that has weighed on the privacy-focused cryptocurrency.
The selloff extends beyond a single session. ZEC has declined 3.96% over the past seven days and is down 12.32% over the past 30 days, suggesting sustained selling pressure rather than an isolated dip. The asset's market capitalization stood at $19.65 billion at the time of reporting.
The 30-day loss of 12.32% represents the steepest decline across the three measured timeframes, indicating that broader headwinds have been building over the course of the past month. The shorter-term drops appear consistent with that trend rather than a sudden reversal.
With ZEC now trading at $1,180.12 and a market cap of $19.65 billion, the coin remains under pressure on multiple timeframes, leaving its near-term trajectory dependent on shifts in overall market sentiment toward privacy-focused digital assets.
