ZEC jumps to $888, its highest level in eight years, as NU7 upgrade vote gets underway
AI Market Summary
ZEC spiked to an ~8-year high near $888 alongside a +70% weekly move as the community begins an 18-day token-holder vote on the NU7 network upgrade scope. The snapshot-based, shielded-balance voting design and minimum participation threshold introduce near-term event risk, potentially driving elevated volatility and liquidity sensitivity around the snapshot and voting window, with sentiment hinging on upgrade expectations and turnout.
