- Updated
Eli Ben-Sasson’s latest Zcash comments again put a $2,000 ZEC level in focus, with one piece describing it as a formalized prediction made through OffMarket on October 15, 2026. Another piece adds that ZEC had fallen below its daily 50-period moving average during the session, while a third says the token was down 14.5% over 14 days and had a market capitalization of $20.13 billion.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Zcash holders and traders are the group most likely to notice this immediately, because the new comments keep a $2,000 ZEC level in circulation while one item also places the token below its daily 50-period moving average. That combination means the conversation is happening alongside a weaker short-term chart setup, not in isolation.
Market reaction i
Zcash rose 11.6% in the 4 hours after the first headline, after rising 1.7% in the 2 hours before.
