Zcash: the five-year view

As of 12 October 2026, one ZEC buys 0.01564 BTC — up 7.5× over five years, up 6.9× on the year and up 97% over three months. Five years ago it bought 0.002078 BTC.

In dollars that is $1,305.31 a coin (up 5.0× on the year and up 164% over three months), a market cap of $22.2B — 1.3% of Bitcoin's. Spot sits 3.7× above the realized price of $355 — the average price at which a ZEC last crossed a pool boundary — so the typical coin is held at a gain.

Behind it: 29.2% of all ZEC — 4.97M ZEC, $6.5B — sits in shielded pools, against 26.9% a year ago and 7.8% five years ago. Ironwood, the current shielded pool, holds 4.11M ZEC, with 362k ZEC still in Orchard, its predecessor, crossing the turnstile.

Transactions average 6,938 a day (down 21% on the year and up 55% over three months), of which 2,966 — 43% — are shielded, against 22% a year ago. Transparent addresses are being paid for the first time at 1,843 a day (down 55% on the year and up 47% over three months). An address is not a person: wallets derive a fresh one per payment received.

17.0M of 21M ZEC has been issued, 81% of the cap.

Network security: the hashrate is 29.8 GSol/s, up 5.4× over five years and up 233% on the year. Block rewards run $2.0M a day — 1,522 ZEC of coinbase, of which 2.0 ZEC — 0.1% — is transaction fees rather than new issuance. Users paid $134.0k in fees over the 30 days to 11 October 2026 — up 41× over five years and up 100% on the year.
