For the closed-hour 24h window: ZEC is within a usual day's range. ZEC rose further than this on 13 of the past 29 days. Zcash is up over the latest 24 hours, a move within its usual daily range. Few other tracked coins moved the same way, so its move stood apart from most of the market. No recent report about the coin explains it, so the cause is unresolved.

- Whether derivatives conditions on the OKX perpetual swap ZEC-USDT-SWAP, with positive funding and rising open interest, reflect positioning around this move rather than any reported development; exchange or venue data on positions would clarify.
