Zcash Above $1,500: What ZEC Holders Must Check

Zcash traded above $1,500 for the first time since its launch in 2016 on September 19, 2026. If you hold ZEC, the most important question this weekend is neither the next price target nor whether the rally continues. It is this: when does your gain become tax-free in Germany, where will you still be allowed to trade the coin eighteen months from now, and is it sitting somewhere you can still move it from? This article works through those three points in turn and names the source and the measurement time behind every figure.

Zcash price today: $1,473.77 after an intraday high of $1,590.80

The reading everything else refers to: Zcash traded at $1,473.77 on September 20, 2026 at 00:49 UTC. That is 6.41 percent below the previous day. Within the preceding 24 hours the high was $1,590.80 and the low $1,466.66. The price therefore sits closer to the daily low than to the daily high.

Over longer periods the picture differs. Over seven days Zcash is up 31.38 percent, over 30 days 159.02 percent, over twelve months 2,913.12 percent. Market capitalization stands at $24.97 billion, which places Zcash ninth among all crypto assets. Trading volume over the past 24 hours was $1.15 billion. There are 16,940,252 ZEC in circulation out of a maximum of 21,000,000.
