Binance spot grid · ZEC/USDT · 2026-07-11 to 2026-10-09
We launched a ZEC/USDT spot grid every day for the last 90 days, each running 7 days, with ranges centred on the price at launch. Each run is compared with simply holding the ZEC the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±20% range with 10 levels beat holding ZEC most often: in 59% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding ZEC itself returned a median +6.28% per week in this period.
