OKX Sets Zcash Relisting for Today as ZEC Leaps Toward $600

The decision marks a rare reversal of privacy‑coin delistings, signaling a compliance recalibration by a major venue.

Overview

  • OKX said ZEC/USDT spot trading is scheduled to resume at 12:00 UTC on Nov. 24 with withdrawals opening two hours later.
  • ZEC jumped more than 12% to trade near $600 after the announcement before giving back part of the gains on profit‑taking and liquidations.
  • Price action cooled into Monday with ZEC fluctuating roughly between $531 and $606 and trading near the mid‑$530s as volumes declined.
  • Derivatives activity eased alongside spot, with futures volume and open interest slipping, suggesting fewer large leveraged positions into the relist.
  • The relist follows ZEC’s prior removal during a broader privacy‑coin purge, while institutional interest remains notable with Grayscale holding over $229 million in ZEC and Cypherpunk adding to reserves above 230,000 ZEC.
