    Question

    Spot Zcash ETF launch attracts over $500M in assets amid privacy token surge

    Direct answer

    Institutional wrapper availability continues to broaden beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum into alternative digital asset protocols. The launch of Grayscale's dedicated Zcash spot ETF has drawn more than $500 million in inflows. The influx of regulated capital has driven sharp near-term token price appreciation, though market participants note structural protocol liquidity remains limited relative to primary digital asset benchmarks.
