$Zcash Jumps 23%, ZEC Breaks Through $1.300
Zcash (ZEC) is back in the spotlight of the crypto market on September 17, 2026, after its price surged by around 23% in 24 hours and is trading around $1.369. The rise occurred as the broader crypto market strengthened following the latest decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 0.25%.
ZEC momentum was also boosted by statements from Matt Huang, one of the founders of crypto investment firm Paradigm. Huang revealed that Paradigm holds ZEC and described Zcash as an asset that can complement Bitcoin in terms of privacy. Zcash allows users to make transactions with higher privacy protection than typical Bitcoin transactions.
ZEC’s movement is becoming even more interesting because the token has seen a major increase throughout 2026. However, such a rapid rally also raises volatility and the risk of a pullback. Market participants are now watching whether ZEC can sustain its momentum after breaking through the psychological level of $1.300.
