Zcash has activated its NU7 network upgrade, according to Crypto.news. The release introduces block targets of 25 seconds and establishes new rules for mining fees, marking the latest stated change to the network’s operating parameters.
The upgrade arrived as ZEC traded at $1,262.40, down 4.23% over the previous 24 hours but up 0.67% over seven days. Its reported market capitalization stands at $21.49 billion. Crypto.news highlighted $1,235 as a support level and $1,344 as resistance, with analysts watching whether either is tested.
The wider digital-asset market provided a subdued backdrop. Total crypto market capitalization was $2.61 trillion, while the overall market was broadly lower.

The immediate levels identified by Crypto.news are $1,235 and $1,344; market participants may watch those references as the newly activated upgrade becomes part of ongoing network use. No other outlet covered the upgrade in the supplied material.
