Bitcoin vs Zcash: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 BTC = 148.623505 ZEC.
By market capitalisation, Bitcoin is the larger network — about 177.4× the size of Zcash in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, BTC is down 5.48% while ZEC is down 8.79% — Bitcoin has out-performed by 3.31 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Bitcoin and Zcash on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping BTC for ZEC — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
