Grayscale is taking the necessary regulatory steps for the successful launch of the ETF in the US. The Company confirmed that it has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the regulator.
If Grayscale’s Zcash Trust converts into an ETF, investors will receive regulated exposure to Zcash, including improved liquidity, potentially lower fees and greater accessibility through regulated exchanges. The company also confirmed that it intends to launch its Zcash ETF on the NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH.
Grayscale wrote in one Contribution on X:
“As privacy protection becomes increasingly important across the crypto world, we see ZEC as an important part of a balanced digital asset portfolio.”
Since the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, issuers have increasingly started offering investors exposure to altcoin ETFs. To date, Grayscale has converted at least 5 trusts into ETFs, as we reported in our previous coverage. In the last month alone, the company has transformed one on SOL, another on Dogecoin and one on SOL one .
First, the company converted its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust in January 2024after a court handed down a ruling handing Grayscale Investments a victory in its case against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its application for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. This ruling also opened the doors for more crypto-related ETFs.
In the meantime, ZEC will be at $516,13 traded after rising 2.38% in the last 24 hours as the token looks to pare its 22.9% weekly decline. Better yet, the token is up over 500% in the last two months.
