    Grayscale Spot Zcash ETF Gathers $500M as Token Surges 217% YTD

    Question

    Grayscale Spot Zcash ETF Gathers $500M as Token Surges 217% YTD

    Direct answer

    Grayscale has expanded its single-asset digital currency product offerings with the roll-out of a spot Zcash ETF, which has quickly gathered more than $500 million in inflows. The regulated wrapper format has driven concentrated buying interest into the privacy-focused token, contributing to a 217% price rally year-to-date and a 90% gain over the past month. Market analysts note that while institutional wrapper availability provides structural liquidity, long-term token economics remain constrained relative to historical cycle peaks.
