cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Zcash private transactions are receiving a significant speed upgrade. The Zakura Common team claims proof generation is more than 14 times faster on mobile devices and 5 times faster on desktop. Additionally, hashing is reported to be 21 times quicker, trial decryption 1.5 times faster, and verification roughly 4 to 8 times faster. This improvement primarily affects the wallet experience rather than making the blockchain itself 14 times quicker.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ZEC, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Zcash is trading at $835.29 with a 24-hour spot volume of $142,651,821. The 24-hour buy ratio is 52.0%, indicating a slight majority of buyers, while the 1-hour ratio has dipped to 47.0%, suggesting short-term selling pressure. The 4-hour buy ratio sits at 52.5%, showing a balance between buyers and sellers over that period. Volume delta has shifted from negative -$279,873 in the last hour to positive +$2,368,948 over four hours, indicating that buying interest has increased recently compared to the immediate past. However, the cumulative 24-hour volume delta is -$5,267,929, meaning net selling has outweighed buying over the full day despite the positive 4-hour snapshot.
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.
Twenty-four hours later
What ZEC did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ZEC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.2%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 52.0% slightly above the norm by 1.9 points. Volume was measured at 0.77x the average, indicating a quieter trading day than usual. The price has declined 2.2% over the last eight days, with a total volume delta of -$1,466,360. This contrasts with the current 24-hour net outflow of -$5,267,929, suggesting that recent selling pressure has been more intense than the weekly average.
