OKX announced it will add a ZEC/USDⓈ spot trading pair, with live trading scheduled to begin on November 24, 2025 at 15:00 UTC. The new pair is part of OKX’s continued expansion of its USDⓈ ecosystem, offering Zcash traders a direct route to stablecoin-quoted liquidity on the platform.

The move signals sustained exchange demand for privacy-focused tokens and gives traders another regulated venue to access ZEC spot markets, though market reaction will depend on trading volume and broader crypto sentiment.
