Zcash (ZEC) experienced a sharp 44% drop in 24 hours, falling to around $298. The crash was driven primarily by spot market selling rather than a leverage-induced cascade, as forced liquidations totaled about $118 million, relatively small for such a price drop. In contrast, Bitcoin and Ether saw smaller price declines but higher liquidation amounts. Traders rapidly opened new positions during the decline, with a notable increase in short interest. Meanwhile, ZEC futures open interest reached a record high, surpassing the previous peak from late May, indicating strong trader activity despite the price fall.
