Zcash price drops 8.6% amid crypto selloff despite recent 100% rally

Zcash (ZEC) price fell 8.61% to around $1,098 on October 15, 2026, amid a broad cryptocurrency market selloff triggered by hotter-than-expected US inflation data. This decline followed a strong rally of over 100% in the past three months but led to a market cap drop to about $18.58 billion. Increased selling pressure caused a 17.88% surge in ZEC's 24-hour trading volume to $1.19 billion, with significant liquidations of long positions. Despite anticipation for a major network upgrade (NU7) to improve transaction speeds, Zcash's social media mentions have sharply declined, reflecting waning investor interest amid the broader market downturn.

Zcash's market cap on Pluang stands at Rp7.04 trillion with a circulating supply of 16.3 million ZEC, representing 78% of the total supply as of October 15, 2026, 23:02 WIB. Despite the article noting a price drop to around $1,098, on Pluang ZEC is up 2.79% at Rp21,051,678 with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp787.62 million. Pluang data shows a strong sell order activity at 100%, and typical holding time for ZEC investors is 107 days, indicating cautious trading behavior amid recent market volatility.
