Zcash (ZEC) sees the Zcash price rise 7.09 percent to 1,355.87 USD as of October 25, 2026, compared with the UTC daily close of October 24, 2026. Separately, Network Upgrade 7, or NU7, is planned for mainnet activation at block 3,543,405 on November 5, 2026.

Zebra 7.0.0 supports NU7

On October 22, 2026, the Zcash Foundation announced Zebra 7.0.0, its first stable node release with NU7 mainnet support. The upgrade targets 25-second blocks instead of 75-second blocks, adds a Network Sustainability Mechanism that recycles part of each transaction fee into future block rewards, and introduces new shielded limits designed to protect wallets from spam. Node operators must upgrade before block 3,543,405 to remain on the consensus chain.

ETF flows and network testing add context

Zcash exchange-traded funds, which hold the underlying asset through a regulated market vehicle, recorded a 20.5 million USD net inflow on October 23, 2026, according to CryptoETF Today. The same data page lists four consecutive inflow days through that date. A separate test reported by CoinDesk on October 20, 2026, covered 80 nodes across 11 regions and recorded just over 3 percent orphaned blocks. An orphaned block loses a race with another block and is discarded.
