Zcash (ZEC)

u.today reports that SwissBorg has unexpectedly expanded its listings to include Litecoin (LTC) and Zcash (ZEC) for its European users. This move comes despite a looming regulatory ban on privacy coins set for 2027. The Swiss platform added support for these assets in September 2026, driven by a surge in customer searches.
Users can now instantly exchange both coins for 12 fiat currencies and over 400 other tokens. SwissBorg’s decision relies on a pragmatic legal calculation regarding Zcash’s flexible architecture. Unlike Monero, Zcash separates transparent and shielded transactions, allowing the exchange to work strictly with transparent addresses.
This structure ensures compliance with current financial monitoring requirements under MiCA regulations. The listing coincides with Zcash’s strongest resurgence in a decade, as the coin rallied 45% in one week. It broke through the psychological $1,000 mark amid short liquidations and spot ETF rumors. Litecoin joined the platform alongside Zcash, offering stability through its established mechanics despite previous privacy protocol controversies.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ZEC, measured when this story was written up on 14 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Zcash is currently trading at $1,062.50 on Binance spot markets. In the last hour, buy pressure is strong with a 58.5% buy ratio and a positive volume delta of over $1 million. However, this momentum has faded over the last four hours, where the buy ratio dropped to 45.8% and volume delta turned negative by over $4.5 million. Over the full 24 hours, the market remains balanced with a 50.1% buy ratio and a net positive volume delta of $718,211. The cumulative volume delta for the day closed at nearly $10 million, indicating sustained net buying interest. Traders executed over 1.15 million trades in the last 24 hours, with a total spot volume of $333 million.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.9% sits at the 82nd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.2% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ZEC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Compared to the preceding week, today’s trading activity shows a slight shift in sentiment. The 24-hour buy ratio of 50.1% is marginally lower than the seven-day average of 50.5%. Volume today is 1.07 times the weekly average, indicating a busier than usual trading day. Over the past eight days, the price has declined by 13.4% despite a total volume delta of over $25 million. This suggests that while trading activity is high, the recent upward momentum has reversed into a downtrend over the week.
