Zcash Market Cap Ladder

See every asset ranked above Zcash by market cap — and the ZEC price required to match it. A mathematical comparison, not a price prediction.

If ZEC had the same market capitalization as TRON, its implied price at ZEC's current circulating supply would be approximately the "ZEC price required" figure above — a mathematical scenario, not a forecast of where ZEC's price will go.

How It Works

Every asset's market cap is price × circulating supply. This page asks a simple "what if" question: if ZEC's market cap matched another asset's, what would ZEC's price be at its own current circulating supply? That's the "ZEC price required" figure on every card above — one asset's market cap overtaking another's like this is sometimes called a "flippening."

This is a mathematical market-cap comparison, not a price prediction. It does not say ZEC will reach any particular price, on any timeline, or at all. Market caps move continuously, circulating supply changes over time, and rankings shift — so every number here is a snapshot of one moment, not a target or a promise.

Methodology & Data Source

Every figure on this page comes from one CoinGecko market-data request that returns ZEC and every currently-ranked asset together — never combined from two separate reads — so the whole ladder always reflects a single, internally consistent moment. ZEC and the ladder both refresh on the same ~15-minute cycle; see the timestamp near the top of this page for exactly how current the data is right now.

Show full methodology

Ranking policy: this ladder reproduces CoinGecko's own market-cap ranking exactly as reported — it does not exclude stablecoins, wrapped assets, or any other asset type, and it never renumbers or re-ranks anything on its own. If a future update introduces asset labeling or filtering, this section will say so explicitly; as of today, what you see is CoinGecko's ranking, unmodified.

An asset is only ever shown as a target if its market cap is genuinely greater than ZEC's in that same snapshot — independent of the rank number alone — so a data inconsistency can never display a nonsensical (negative, or already-achieved) flip target. An asset missing the fields needed for these calculations (market cap or price) is left out of the ladder entirely, without shifting any other asset's real rank number.

Staleness: if a sync run fails or is delayed, this page keeps showing the last successful snapshot rather than hiding the page or fabricating new numbers — with the honest "last updated" timestamp above. Once that snapshot is more than about 45 minutes old, it's visibly marked as potentially delayed rather than presented as current.

Historical data: one lightweight record of ZEC's rank, price, market cap, and next-flip target is stored per UTC calendar day (not every 15-minute refresh), to support future history features without needing to reconstruct anything retroactively. No historical chart is shown on this page yet.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the Zcash Market Cap Ladder?

A live calculator showing every asset CoinGecko currently ranks above Zcash by market cap, and exactly what ZEC price would be required for Zcash's market cap to match each one — using ZEC's real current circulating supply.

Is this a price prediction?

No. Every number here is a mathematical market-cap comparison — "if ZEC had the same market cap as Asset X, its price would be approximately $Y" — not a forecast, promise, or investment recommendation. Market caps, rankings, and ZEC's own price and supply all change continuously, so these figures move too.

Where does this data come from, and how often does it update?

Directly from CoinGecko's public market-data API — one request that returns ZEC and every ranked asset together, so the whole ladder always reflects a single, internally-consistent moment. It refreshes roughly every 15 minutes; see the timestamp above for exactly how current the data on screen is.

How is the required ZEC price calculated?

Required ZEC price = target asset's market cap ÷ ZEC's current circulating supply. The increase needed is how much ZEC's price would have to rise to get there, and the multiplier is that same required price divided by ZEC's current price (2× means the price would need to double). Progress is derived the same way — see below.

What does "progress" mean?

How much of the market-cap gap is already closed: ZEC's current market cap divided by the target's market cap. 100% would mean the flip has already happened, at which point that asset would no longer appear as a target above ZEC.

Does the ranking here match CoinGecko exactly? Are stablecoins included?

Yes — this ladder reproduces CoinGecko's own market-cap ranking as-is. It doesn't exclude stablecoins or wrapped assets, and it doesn't apply any custom re-ranking, so the rank number shown here is the same one CoinGecko itself reports.

Why does Zcash's market-cap rank change?

Two separate things move it: ZEC's own price or circulating supply changing, or another asset's market cap rising or falling past ZEC's. Rank can shift even on a day ZEC's own price doesn't move, simply because an asset above or below it did.
