Zcash Surges Past $1,388 Amid Block Time Reduction Vote

Zcash has surged nearly 15% to reach $1,388, making it one of the top performers in the crypto market. This significant price increase has boosted its market capitalization to $23.21 billion and widened its lead over rival Monero.

The rally in Zcash is driven by a community vote to reduce block time from 75 to 25 seconds as part of the NU7 upgrade, as well as support from Paradigm's Matt Huang, who emphasized Zcash's hybrid governance and long-term security measures. These developments have increased institutional confidence in Zcash.

The strong interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies is evident among Pluang users, with ZEC holding a significant market cap and a typical hold time of 106 days. As of September 17th, 2026, at 18:02 WIB, ZEC trades at Rp24,045,925 with an 11.76% increase in one day and a market cap of Rp7.04 trillion.
