Zcash Price Holds Above $1,440 After Sharp Rally Pullback
Zcash (ZEC) fell from a high of $1,590 to $1,429, ending a streak of double-digit gains. Despite the 5% drop, it remains up 31% weekly and 200% since June. Grayscale's Zcash ETF, launched in August, saw net outflows only twice, with assets reaching $914 million. Debate continues over Zcash's development fund and governance.
