Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zano (ZANO) has posted a dramatic 26.8% price surge in the past 24 hours, reaching $7.66 as of February 27, 2026, according to real-time market data.
The sharp rally pushed Zano’s market capitalization to $116.3 million, with the token adding approximately $24.6 million in market cap over the 24-hour period. Trading volume spiked to $1.93 million, indicating significant trader interest in the privacy coin.
Price Action Details
Zano’s price movement showed considerable volatility throughout the trading period, reaching an intraday high of $7.76 before settling at $7.66. The 24-hour low of $4.90 demonstrates the magnitude of the rally, with prices climbing more than 56% from the session’s bottom.
The token gained $1.62 in absolute terms during the 24-hour period. However, short-term data reveals slight pullback pressure, with the asset down 0.04% over the past hour, suggesting some profit-taking following the rapid ascent.
Broader Market Context
Despite today’s strong performance, Zano remains in negative territory across longer timeframes. The token has declined 14.9% over the past week and is down 9.9% for the month, indicating this surge may represent a recovery bounce rather than continuation of an uptrend.
Zano currently trades 57% below its all-time high of $17.81, which was reached on January 7, 2025. The cryptocurrency ranks #242 by market capitalization with a circulating supply of approximately 15.17 million ZANO tokens.
Privacy Coin Sector
Zano is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency utilizing advanced cryptographic techniques to provide confidential transactions. The project emphasizes scalability and security while maintaining user anonymity—features that have maintained a dedicated following despite increased regulatory scrutiny of privacy coins globally.
The current price of $7.66 represents a remarkable 5,151% increase from Zano’s all-time low of $0.146 recorded in December 2019, demonstrating the long-term appreciation despite recent volatility.
Traders should note that privacy coins typically experience heightened volatility compared to mainstream cryptocurrencies. The relatively modest $1.93 million in 24-hour volume suggests lower liquidity that can amplify price swings in both directions.
