# Why did Zcash go up 2.1% on October 24, 2026?

On October 24, 2026 (UTC), ZEC went from about $1,182.88 to $1,207.74 (+2.13%) on OKX · USDT, trading between $1,119.27 and $1,213.58. For the closed-hour 24h window: ZEC moved more than most tracked coins, but within its usual daily range. ZEC rose further than this on 8 of the past 29 days. Zcash rose while few other tracked coins moved the same way, and its move was larger than most coins moved, though still within its usual daily range. Volume was below usual, and on the OKX perpetual swap ZEC-USDT-SWAP funding was near zero with open interest flat. No recent report about the coin explains it, so the cause is unresolved.

## Still open

- What drove the move is unresolved; an official project statement or exchange notice would help clarify whether any coin-specific development occurred.
- Whether the below-usual volume and flat open interest on the OKX perpetual swap persisted beyond the day; exchange or venue data covering a longer window would settle this.

Prices, market readings and reports are shown side by side; timing alone does not show what caused a move.
