Zcash is a digital currency built to let people send private, encrypted payments to each other. Its pages make no dated promises we could check. It trades at $1,140, #10 of all coins by size, 64% below its highest ever price.

This week in the news: ETF or institution, funding.

A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #2 of 7 digital cash coins. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

The gap, and what to do

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Digital cash ($4.25B). To match the leader, Bitcoin ($1.54T), its price would need to rise 7890%, to about $91,066.

Still to check

  • No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
  • Years younger than the group's leader

What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.

A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Does it deliver?

No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Same job, different how

Digital cash: this coin next to Bitcoin, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

Zcash says
Zcash is a digital currency built to let people send private, encrypted payments to each other.
Bitcoin says
Bitcoin is a computer network that lets people send digital money to each other without a bank or company in charge.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

Zcash is a digital currency built to let people send private, encrypted payments to each other.

Its listing puts it this way: Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses trustless zero-knowledge proofs to enable fully encrypted transactions while maintaining blockchain transparency and security.

Problem it says it solves: private payments. 21 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $42,412,926,293.

Where it trades: Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Binance US, Gemini

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

What it says is different: Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses trustless zero-knowledge proofs to enable fully encrypted transactions while maintaining blockchain transparency and security.

It is 1.3% the size of Bitcoin. On the facts above it is behind on years trading, major exchanges, headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need deliveries showing up in its record. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

81%

of all ZEC that will ever exist is already out in public hands: 16.93M coins.

19% (4.07M coins) is not yet created or held by the project. That is a small share. Those coins can be sold later, which can push the price down.

Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it. That is the built-in reason anyone needs it.

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 81%of the maximum supply is in circulation: 16.93M of 21M.
  • 4.07Mcoins still to be released, 19% of the maximum. Releases can add selling pressure.
  • 36%of its all-time high of $3,192 on 28 October 2016. That is −64.3% from the top.
