Zcash Jumps 6% to $1,210 as Bitcoin and Ether Take Sunday Slow
ZEC is up 8.5% on the week and holds the No. 10 spot by market value, though it is still down 24% over 30 days, CoinGecko data show.
Zcash's ZEC token rose 6.2% in 24 hours to about $1,210 at 11:55 a.m. ET on Sunday, per CoinGecko. Bitcoin managed 1.3%. Ether did 2%.
That makes the privacy coin the busiest name in the top 10 on a quiet weekend. Its market value sits near $20.6 billion, good for the No. 10 spot on CoinGecko's ranking.
A better week, a rough month
ZEC traded between $1,137 and $1,223 over the past day and is up 8.5% over seven days. The 30-day view is less cheerful: it is still down about 24%, which is the kind of number that makes a 6% Sunday look like a down payment.
The big two stayed put
Bitcoin traded near $80,580, up 1.3% in 24 hours but down 1.1% on the week, per CoinGecko. Ether sat near $2,342, up 2% on the day and down 13% over 30 days, per CoinGecko.
No single headline explains Sunday's ZEC move, and CoinGecko's numbers show price, not motive. Weekend trading is often thin, so moves can be bigger than the news behind them.
In our opinion: Zcash is built to keep things private, and on Sunday it kept its reasons to itself, too.
