Zcash Prices Sink Below $30 in Market First
Zcash prices consistently traded below $30 during the 22nd February session, a first for the cryptocurrency.


The price of the privacy oriented digital currency zcash traded below $30 on most of its major exchanges yesterday, a first for the publicly traded blockchain token launched last October.
The cryptocurrency, which leverages zero-knowledge proofs called zk-SNARKS, has spent more than 16 hours below $30 today and fallen to as little as $27.83, CoinMarketCap data reveals.
At the time of report, zcash was trading at $27.93, a roughly 6.5% drop in the 24 hours.
Zcash first tested $30 on 13th February, falling to as little as $30.11. However, traders soundly rejected this attempt, causing zcash prices to reach $30.66 that day.
Since then, more tests have been made by traders, though none have been successful in pushing the price through the $30 mark.
Relative price stability
The latest price decline fits into the broader narrative of the cryptocurrency, which launched with sky-high expectations late last year and is still very much seeking to build an initial batch of users and a supporting market.
Overall, the privacy oriented digital currency's price has been relatively stable over the last few months, following a period of wild volatility when the currency went live in late October.
Zcash tokens surged to roughly 3,300 BTC (more than $2m) on some exchanges around that time, though this was due to their initial scarcity and slow release.
The price fell below $100 within a month, and has since dropped below other key levels such as $50, following a slow downward trend.
Depending on how long zcash remains below $30, it could build resistance at this particular price level.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
