Some altcoins lost over 95% of their value during Friday’s crash, which triggered the most severe and rapid liquidations in crypto history. Ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the layer-1 Ethereum blockchain network, is down about 6.7% in the past 24 hours, following Friday’s market crash, showing greater price resilience than many altcoins, which crashed by over 95% in some cases.

The price of Zcash (ZEC), a supply-capped, shielded, layer-1 coin dedicated to user privacy, fully recovered following Friday’s market crash, forming a new recent high of about $291 on Saturday before retracing to about $273 at the time of this writing.
