> ZEC was down 2.64% over 24 hours; short liquidations across Binance, Bybit and OKX totaled $10,000 during the hour.

Zcash (ZEC) fell 2.53% in the hour through 1:05 p.m. ET (17:05 UTC) Oct. 17, reaching $1,117 on Binance’s spot ZEC/USDT market. ZEC was $1,147 one hour earlier.

The one-hour change was calculated from public exchange prices. The 24-hour comparison showed ZEC down 2.64% at the same measurement point. The price check used Binance’s spot ZEC/USDT pair.

Liquidation totals across Binance, Bybit and OKX for the hour were $1.31 million in long positions and $10,000 in short positions. Long positions are bets that an asset’s price will rise; liquidations are forced position closures when a trader cannot maintain a position.

At the measurement time, Zcash ranked No. 10 by market capitalization at about $19.38929 billion. The figures combine the Binance spot quote with liquidation totals from the three venues, placing the decline alongside leverage-related trading activity during the same hour.
