Zcash leads a mixed week for crypto

Zcash gained nearly 40 percent over the week and traded above $1,200, according to Bitcoin.com News's Sunday recap. The move put it among the ten largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation in the report's rankings.

The wider crypto market gained around 2 percent over the first week of September. Its combined value briefly reached $2.82 trillion before slipping back below $2.8 trillion as the initial rally lost ground.

Bitcoin finished the report's weekly comparison roughly 1.2 percent higher after briefly trading above $82,200 on September 3. Ether was down around 0.5 percent, while several other major tokens posted gains, leaving a notably uneven picture beneath the headline total.

A rising aggregate market value can conceal very different outcomes. This week's strongest returns were concentrated in particular assets rather than shared evenly across the market.
