TREE NEWS reports: Privacy coin Zcash fell 11% over the past 24 hours, leaving its market cap at $18.5 billion, with $17.9 million in long positions liquidated in that period — more than the $7.3 million liquidated on Hyperliquid. CoinShares senior researcher Luke Nolan attributed the drawdown to leveraged positions accumulated during the earlier rally, noting Zcash remains up 460% from its March low.
Zcash Slides 11% in 24 Hours as $17.9M in Longs Get Liquidated
The scale of long liquidations relative to Hyperliquid's share suggests the unwind was broad-based rather than concentrated on a single venue, which matters for how orderly the deleveraging has been. Zcash's standing as a privacy-coin proxy means its leveraged flush can colour sentiment across that niche, not just its own holders. The open question is whether the rally's underlying bid survives once excess leverage clears, given how far the asset still sits above its March low.
