The Zcash Daily — Wednesday, October 14, 2026
ZEC bounced 6% over two days to ~$1,264, clawing back Monday’s crash. Resistance sits at $1,320; a clean break targets $1,422. Meanwhile ZCSH keeps bleeding — $30.72M in Grayscale outflows over the past week. Spot recovering while the ETF wrapper shrinks. The pattern holds.
Builder spotlight: The NU7 crate stack is maturing fast. Zingo-pc PR #401 bumped to released librustzcash crates — zcash_client_backend went from 0.24.0-rc.7 to 0.24.0, dropping the RC label. ZODL’s Zebra fork moved to the pre.1 round of NU7 pre-releases. The pipeline from consensus node → wallet SDK → desktop app is tightening with six days until the October 20 mainnet decision.
EU’s AMLR will ban privacy coins from regulated platforms starting July 2027. Ownership stays legal; what disappears is exchange listing, custody, and brokerage. PGPZ’s new DC lobbyist and the Cypherpunk Policy Dinner on October 21 look less like nice-to-haves and more like load-bearing infrastructure.
