Zcash has deployed its NU7 upgrade on the testnet at block 4,465,026, reducing target block times to 25 seconds and introducing the Network Sustainability Mechanism ahead of a provisional November mainnet launch.

Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson projects that ZEC will reach $5,000 by the end of 2026, despite a recent 9% decline and bearish short-term technical indicators in the market.

Crypto issuer 21Shares has launched physically backed Zcash and ether.fi exchange-traded products on Euronext Amsterdam and Euronext Paris, charging a 2.5% annual fee and enabling traditional brokerage access.

Zcash surged past $1,300, reaching $1,389, driven by strong community support for the NU7 network upgrade proposals and institutional interest from Paradigm.
