Monero vs Zcash: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 XMR = 1.043037 ZEC.
By market capitalisation, Monero is the larger network — about 1.2× 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, XMR is down 9.41% while ZEC is down 40.83% — Monero has out-performed by 31.42 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Monero and Zcash on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping XMR for ZEC — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
