Updated 2026-08-10 21:44:00 UTC

Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 7 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This market estimates a 37% chance that Zcash will trade below $100 at some point during 2026. The current pricing reflects uncertainty about broader cryptocurrency adoption trends and Zcash's competitive position relative to other privacy-focused assets. The outcome hinges on macroeconomic conditions affecting crypto asset valuations generally, regulatory developments around privacy coins specifically, and whether Zcash maintains or gains market share against competitors. Since we are already five months into 2026, the resolution is partially determined by historical price data; movements in the second half of the year and year-end closing levels will be the main remaining variable. Historically, Zcash has traded in the $20–$200 range across market cycles, making this threshold economically meaningful but not extreme.

Key factors:
- Zcash's trading price as of early May 2026 relative to the $100 threshold and volatility patterns year-to-date
- Regulatory announcements or enforcement actions targeting privacy coins, which could constrain or expand trading activity
- Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements, since altcoin valuations typically correlate with major crypto assets
- Adoption developments or technical upgrades to Zcash's protocol that might affect investor confidence and demand
- Remaining six months of 2026 price action, since the question resolves based on whether Zcash ever trades below $100 through year-end

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
