Zcash Record High

Zcash (ZEC) closed at $1,629.92 on 22 Sep 2026, 90.5% below its highest since Oct 2016 of $17,156.00 reached on 28 Oct 2016. This page draws every settled daily close since 28 Oct 2016, 3,484 days in all, with the record marked and the fall from it beside as of .
The record on this page is the highest price Zcash has traded in the record Maketo holds, taken from each day's high rather than its close. A day can trade through a price it does not finish at, and the record is about what traded.
The fall from the record is measured from that high to the latest close, so it is the distance a holder who bought at the very top would still be down. The climb back is measured from the lowest price traded after the record, not from the start of the year, because the low is where the climb actually began.
Where the record does not reach back to the coin's first day of trading, this page says "highest since" and names the month, rather than "all-time high". A price record cannot tell on its own whether a coin traded before the record starts, and the smaller claim is the one that is always true.
