Over the last 12 months BNB returned -26.17% and ZEC +2,023.29%. Over just the last month the picture is the same: BNB +11.04%, ZEC +83.17%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
Zcash moves about ±4.2% on a typical day against ±1.2% for BNB. In the past year BNB fell as much as 58% from a peak and ZEC 72%. Bigger swings mean bigger possible gains and bigger possible losses, size your position so a fall like that wouldn't force you to sell.
The correlation of their daily moves over the past year is 0.27 (1 = always together, 0 = unrelated): they move fairly independently. That makes holding both a little less risky than holding either alone.
BNB is the bigger network, with a market cap about 3.9× that of Zcash. A lower price per coin doesn't make a coin “cheaper”: what matters is market cap, and how many new coins will still be created (BNB: capped at 200.00M; ZEC: capped at 21.00M).
Both trade on FIU-registered exchanges. Profit on either is taxed at 30% plus 4% cess, 1% TDS is deducted when you sell, and a loss on one can't be set off against a gain on the other. Guides: how to buy BNB · how to buy Zcash · best crypto apps in India.
