cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that the Network State Conference will host a Zcash Zummit on October 9 in Singapore. The event aims to gather prominent figures from the Zcash ecosystem, including leaders Zooko Wilcox and Eli Ben-Sasson. Their discussions will center on the significance of zero-knowledge proofs within the broader crypto space.
Balaji’s tweet highlighted this important gathering as a key moment for the community. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive free ZEC, which is designed to enhance participation. This incentive is expected to drive interest in Zcash as the conference approaches.
The focus on zero-knowledge proofs positions the event to attract both industry veterans and newcomers. Community sentiment appears positive, driven by the prospect of free tokens and privacy-focused discussions. These factors could lead to increased engagement and dialogue around privacy in the sector. The conference represents a specific effort to boost visibility for the Zcash network.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ZEC, measured when this story was written up on 3 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows ZEC trading at $1,301.48 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.7%, indicating a majority of buyers over the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio has dropped to 38.7%, suggesting that immediate buying pressure is fading compared to the longer trend. The 4-hour buy ratio sits at 50.7%, showing a neutral stance that is closer to the daily average than the recent hourly dip. Volume Delta for the hour is -$266,455, meaning more volume was sold than bought in the last hour, while the 4-hour delta is positive at +$196,109. This shift indicates that while buyers dominated the day, sellers have taken control of the most recent flow. The CVD for the 24-hour close is +$12,849,052, confirming net buying pressure over the full period despite the recent hourly reversal.
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.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 48.5%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 53.7% an unusual day with 5.2 points more buying than usual. Spot volume for the day was $232,726,223, which is 0.82x the weekly average, indicating lower-than-normal trading activity. The coin experienced a price change of -16.3% over the last 8 days, with a total Volume Delta of -$39,825,591 for that period. Only 2 of the last 7 days saw net buying, contrasting with today’s majority buyer ratio. This suggests that while today is a relative outlier in terms of buy ratio, the broader weekly trend remains bearish with significant net outflows.
