Grayscale has submitted its fourth amendment to the SEC to transform its Zcash Trust into a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) under the ticker ZCSH on NYSE Arca. Digital Currency Group’s subsidiary is in preliminary talks to buy about 200,000 ZEC tokens valued at $110 million to support the ETF. The proposed ETF will use cash-based creation and redemption, banning in-kind redemptions. This move follows security upgrades to Zcash’s protocol and reflects Grayscale’s strategy to expand altcoin investment products. ZEC’s price rose nearly 10% to around $555 amid these developments, though no official ETF launch date or fee details have been announced yet.
