Zcash: A 20% crash and yet, a full treasury bet – ZEC gets a big push!

Key Takeaways

What’s the latest update on Zcash?

Reliance Global Group has shifted its entire DAT into Zcash.

Is ZEC at risk after its 20% weekly drop?

Despite the decline, the sell-off may be slowing.

Zcash [ZEC] may have spent the week bleeding nearly 20%, but not everyone is worried.

A new digital asset treasury (DAT) update has put good momentum behind the privacy coin, so there’s more than the price chart lets on.

Here’s the latest rundown.

A big DAT bet on Zcash

Reliance Global Group has shifted its entire DAT into ZEC, exiting all other holdings. The decision came after a full strategic review led by its Crypto Advisory Board, which concluded that ZEC offered the strongest long-term value.

In a recent statement, the company talked of Zcash’s privacy features, Bitcoin-based architecture, and compliance-ready design as core advantages.

AMBCrypto previously reported that Zcash has surged massively over the past three months, so the company’s confidence isn’t completely unforeseen.

Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance Global Group, said,

“As we evaluated the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape, it became clear that Zcash’s privacy architecture and institutional flexibility align more closely with our vision than a diversified crypto portfolio.”

Under pressure

Recent data shows clear risk-off stretch. Across major pairs (including BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB) ZEC has dropped 13-18% over the week, so the coin is relatively weak.

Yet 24-hour moves have mostly stabilized, so the selloff is slowing.

Similarly, Open Interest (OI) has slipped only mildly and is holding near $695 million, meaning traders haven’t fully unwound positions.

Funding Rates were also negative, so there’s persistent short bias, but not an aggressive buildup of leverage.

Momentum is slowing

At press time, ZEC traded around $496, extending its weekly drop of over 20%.

The price slipped below the 20-day EMA, so short-term momentum weakened. Meanwhile, the 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs remained far below, so the broader trend was still intact.

The RSI showed fading buying strength, with no signs of oversold conditions yet. Meanwhile, the CMF confirmed that capital flows had turned negative as selling pressure gradually increased.

ZEC spent the week consolidating under stress, leaving room for recovery if demand returns.
