Zcash founder predicts $2,000 price as an easy target, repeats $5,000 forecast for ZEC token.

Eli Ben-Sasson, founding scientist of Zcash, called a $2,000 price for ZEC a "no-brainer" and reiterated his earlier prediction of $5,000. As of October 14, ZEC closed at $1,146.78, about 31% below its September 26 level of $1,653.12. Reaching $2,000 would require roughly a 74% increase from the recent close. Zcash supports privacy-focused shielded transactions alongside transparent ones, which may influence its market potential. No specific timeframe was given for the $5,000 prediction.

Zcash (ZEC) is trading at Rp22.240.094 on Pluang as of October 16, 2026, showing a strong 9.09% gain in the last day. The market cap stands at Rp7,04 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp787,62 million. The typical holding period for ZEC investors on Pluang is 107 days, indicating moderate investor engagement.
