Zcash Social Mentions Hit One-Month High, but 85% Are on X: Is It Real Interest?

Zcash’s social visibility reached a one-month high on September 17, with 85% of posts concentrated on the X platform.

Santiment Intelligence reported that the activity surrounding Zcash (ZEC) developed as an X-centric spike rather than broad interest across platforms. The ZEC price also rose approximately 10% on the same day, with the total increase between September 15-17 reaching about 32%.

However, the surge in social volume was not evenly distributed across sources. ZEC posts on X surged to 6.8 times the 29-day baseline, while the increase on other platforms remained at 1.7 times.

Repetitive Application Texts Seen in Zcash Posts

Santiment noted that the posts behind this volume appear to be whitelist applications repeating the same text. It was reported that while the text in the posts remained the same, each post featured a new ticket number.

The source emphasized that broad-based interest would be expected to create a similar increase across all platforms, but in this instance, the movement was much more heavily concentrated in a single timeline. Therefore, while the social surge on September 17 indicates increased attention toward Zcash, it did not represent a movement spread equally across platforms.

Santiment’s chart showed the 29-day baseline value as 81 posts for X and 56 posts for other sources.
