On September 22, 2026, 21Shares launched the first physically backed Zcash (ZEC) ETP on Euronext Paris and Amsterdam, allowing investors to trade ZEC without managing private keys. This product carries higher fees (2.5%) due to the technical complexity of Zcash's optional privacy features. Zcash has surged over 1,100% in the past year, surpassing $1,500, and is gaining institutional interest with upcoming US ETFs and significant mining activity. The launch signals growing acceptance of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance, with potential for more issuers to follow in Europe.
