Step-by-step: How to buy Zcash

AlexCooper
1.

Create an account at a crypto exchange

Create an account at Kraken (our recommendation) or OKX (currently offering the lowest ZEC price). Sign up with email and password. In most cases, the next step is an identity verification process, so it’s best to have your ID card or passport ready.

2.

Add a payment method

Add your preferred payment method to your account. Depending on the exchange, you can choose between credit card, bank transfer, or instant payment options. Some exchanges also support PayPal or Apple Pay, although these usually come with slightly higher fees.

ZcashBuy
3.

Select Zcash (ZEC) to buy

Navigate to the buy or trading section and select Zcash (ZEC) from the list of available cryptocurrencies. Alternatively, you can type “Zcash” into the search bar. Some exchanges also offer different order types, such as market or limit orders.

Thank you for your purchase
4.

Enter amount & complete purchase

Enter the amount in dollars you want to use to buy Zcash and review the transaction details such as fees and exchange rate. Confirm the purchase, and within a few seconds, the purchased coins will be credited to your account.

When should I buy Zcash?

Whether it’s a good time to buy Zcash depends on various factors — and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. However, here are a few indicators that may currently support or argue against buying ZEC. Note: This is not financial advice. Always do your own research.

Neutral
Momentum

Our momentum indicator currently shows a neutral signal for Zcash (ZEC), suggesting an unclear market direction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Zcash is at a neutral level. The Fear & Greed Index currently shows greed, which may be a warning sign of a possible overvaluation. Over the past 30 days, the price trend of Zcash has been rising, which could point to a potential buying opportunity.

All-time high

All-time high

The all-time high refers to the highest price a cryptocurrency has ever reached. It marks the point at which the cryptocurrency’s value hit its previous peak, based on available historical data. For many, this high is an important data point as it helps better assess the current price and market potential of the coin.

Price trend

Price trend

The price trend shows short-term price action over the last 30 trading days. For each day, the open is compared to the close: if the close is higher, the day is marked green; otherwise red. A sustained majority of green days suggests an uptrend that may persist in the short to medium term.

Fear & Greed Index

Fear & Greed Index

The Fear and Greed Index for cryptocurrencies is a sentiment indicator measuring market mood on a scale from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). It aggregates data from various sources such as volatility, market momentum, social media, market dominance, and Google Trends to assess overall market sentiment. Values in the “Greed” range (55-100) indicate a positive, potentially overoptimistic market mood, signaling a possibly overheated market. A “Neutral” value (45-54) reflects a balanced market sentiment. Values in the “Fear” range (0-44) indicate negative market sentiment, signaling fear or pessimism among investors and possibly an undervalued market.

Relative Strength Index

Relative Strength Index

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that ranges from 0 to 100 and shows whether upward or downward price movements have recently dominated. Values of 70 or above are commonly considered overbought and may indicate that the market has already risen strongly and could be overheated. Values of 30 or below are considered oversold and may point to a potential rebound, which is why low RSI values are sometimes interpreted as a possible buying opportunity. Values between 30 and 70 are generally considered neutral. However, a high or low RSI does not automatically mean that the price is about to reverse. The RSI should therefore be used as an additional indicator rather than as a standalone buy or sell signal.

Buying Zcash: One-time or dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?

USD
Start date

One-time investment

With a one-time investment, you invest your entire planned amount in Zcash (ZEC) all at once and hold your position for the long term. The idea behind this strategy is simple: “Time in the market beats timing the market.” In other words, staying invested as long as possible is often better than trying to find the perfect entry point.
