> ZEC remained up 2.76% over 24 hours. Short liquidations totaled $30,000 across the same three exchanges.

Zcash (ZEC) fell 2.25% over the hour ending at 10:30 p.m. ET Oct. 21 (02:30 UTC Oct. 22), reaching $1,298 on Binance's ZEC/USDT spot market.

That was $30 below the $1,328 level one hour earlier. ZEC was still up 2.76% from its price 24 hours before the snapshot, leaving the hourly and daily readings pointed in opposite directions.

Across Binance, Bybit and OKX, liquidations for the same one-hour period totaled $1.13 million in longs and $30,000 in shorts. Long liquidations exceeded short liquidations by $1.1 million in the combined tally.

The market snapshot ranked Zcash 10th by market capitalization, at about $21.98 billion. The price came from public exchange quotes and uses the Binance spot pair; the liquidation total combines figures from the three exchanges. The 2.25% decline compares the hourly endpoints, while the 2.76% increase covers the broader 24-hour period.
