About the zcash price
Zcash (ZEC), launched in 2016, is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency with optional shielded transactions and, like Bitcoin, a maximum supply of 21 million coins. The live price is published only when two independent feeds agree (TradingView's real-time exchange price, Yahoo Finance and CNBC's Coin Metrics reference rate). Crypto trades around the clock, so the daily change and the history use the close at midnight UTC.
