Grayscale\u2019s plan to launch the first US Zcash ETF could bring one of crypto\u2019s most privacy-driven assets into Wall Street\u2019s main spotlight.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm <\/span>filed a Form S-3<\/span><\/a> with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, November 26, asking to convert the Grayscale Zcash Trust into an exchange-traded fund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If approved, the product would trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the preliminary prospectus, the ETF would track CoinDesk\u2019s Zcash Price Index (ZCX). <\/span><\/p>\n

Coinbase Custody would hold the underlying asset, Coinbase, Inc. would act as prime broker, and BNY Mellon would serve as transfer agent and administrator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Would the Grayscale Zcash Trust ETF Look Like After Conversion?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The goal is simple: give investors regulated, exchange-traded access to ZEC, a cryptocurrency built around privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The filing comes after a tough year for ZEC. The token has made a sharp comeback in recent weeks. The new ETF push lands at a time when interest in privacy-focused transactions is picking up again.\u00a0<\/span>CoinDesk <\/span>noted<\/span><\/a> that Grayscale moved to convert its long-running trust into a spot ETF as ZEC posted some of the strongest gains of 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

At press time, ZEC <\/span>traded<\/span><\/a> near $513, showing an increase of about +5% and moving between roughly $488 and $526 over the past 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n
