Zcash closed at $1,201.31 on October 25, 2026, down from $1,208 the previous day, according to EL7 data. Investing.com data show a daily decline of 1.27% on October 25, following a 2.32% increase on October 24. This daily performance differs from the short-term price snapshot cited in the initial headline, as there is no documented reading to verify the price at the start or end of that hour. The closing data place the daily move in a weaker context than the previous day.

In a separate market snapshot, BitcoinLeverage recorded $821.75 thousand in long liquidations and $2.12 million in short liquidations on Binance and Bybit. The figures cover the 24 hours ending at 16:00 UTC on October 25. That is a different time window from the hourly move cited in the draft, and it does not cover the same exchanges mentioned in the draft. The coincidence of short-position liquidations with trading in the coin alone does not prove that they caused the price move.

The October 25 moves came amid a series of daily fluctuations in the preceding days. Zcash fell 7.20% on October 22, after rising 4.34% on October 21, according to Investing.com data. In EL7 data, the close fell from $1,315.75 on October 21 to $1,201.31 on October 25. This comparison shows that the latest close followed a decline from the start of the period, despite the increase recorded on October 24. The evidence provides no other figures explaining the causes of those daily moves.

An analysis published by Investing.com on September 14 linked the coin’s repricing to the privacy narrative in the age of AI, but said the move’s sustainability depended on interest translating into actual use of shielded transactions. The analysis said the supply in Zcash’s shielded pool appeared stagnant for much of 2026. It also said the breakout above $1,000 appeared to be driven more by the acceleration of the narrative than by growth in usage. By contrast, it noted that supply in the shielded pool began rising sharply in late 2024, strengthening the foundation for the privacy narrative. The analysis said confirmation of sustainability remained tied to evidence of actual shielded use.
