Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) has filed an amended shelf registration to offer Shares of the trust on a continuous basis, supporting its planned listing on NYSE Arca under the symbol ZCSH. The Shares are intended to track the value of Zcash (ZEC) held by the trust, less expenses.
The vehicle operates like a single-asset crypto ETP: Shares are issued and redeemed only in 10,000-Share Baskets by Authorized Participants, with creations currently handled through cash orders via third-party Liquidity Providers rather than in-kind ZEC transfers. As of December 31, 2025, the trust reported NAV of $200,582,268, or $41.53 per Share.
The prospectus highlights significant risks, including extreme ZEC price volatility, regulatory uncertainty for digital assets and privacy coins, operational reliance on service providers such as Coinbase entities and BNY Mellon, and the possibility that Shares may trade at substantial premiums or discounts to NAV despite an intended arbitrage mechanism around the NYSE Arca listing.
Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) reports a change to the pricing index it uses. CoinDesk Indices, Inc., the Index Provider, removed Bitfinex from the CoinDesk Zcash Price Index (ZCX) effective December 21, 2025 because Bitfinex did not meet the Index Provider’s minimum liquidity requirement.
As of this report, the Index now reflects pricing from three Constituent Trading Platforms: Coinbase, Kraken and Gemini. The Index Provider conducts scheduled quarterly reviews, and the next review is noted as occurring on March 7, 2025, when it may again add or remove platforms that meet or fail its stated criteria.
Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) reported that its sponsor, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, and related parties maintain an active presence on X (formerly Twitter), but are not affiliated with X or other social media platforms. The company explains that when its posts use a ticker symbol with a “$” cashtag, X automatically links to pages showing market data, news, and commentary created by third parties.
Grayscale states it does not control, endorse, or take responsibility for any information on those X-generated pages or linked third-party sites, and notes that such information may be inaccurate or inconsistent with its official disclosures. The trust emphasizes that investors should rely on its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for authoritative and up-to-date information about Grayscale and its investment products.
Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) has filed a registration statement to register an indeterminate number of shares and list them on NYSE Arca under the symbol ZCSH, with the trust to be renamed Grayscale Zcash Trust ETF. The trust holds Zcash (ZEC) and seeks for its share value, based on ZEC per share, to track the value of ZEC as measured by the CoinDesk Zcash Price Index (ZCX), minus expenses and liabilities.
Shares are issued and redeemed only in blocks of 10,000 shares called Baskets, via authorized participants using cash orders facilitated by independent liquidity providers; in-kind creations and redemptions may become possible only if NYSE Arca obtains additional regulatory approval. As of September 30, 2025, the trust’s Principal Market NAV was $29,756,987 (or $6.18 per share) and its non-GAAP NAV was $29,891,134 (or $6.21 per share). The trust held approximately 2.4% of ZEC in circulation as of that date.
The filing highlights that ZEC and the shares have experienced significant historical volatility, with prior trading on OTCQX at substantial premiums and discounts to NAV per share, and notes that an arbitrage mechanism via creations and redemptions is intended to keep NYSE Arca trading closer to NAV. Key risks include extreme volatility in digital asset markets, regulatory uncertainty around digital assets and trading platforms, potential illiquidity or operational issues at service providers, and the possibility that the shares may again trade materially above or below NAV.

The table shows 4,829,300 shares outstanding. The securities to be sold were acquired on 07/11/2018 in a privately negotiated transaction from the issuer, with cash as consideration. This notice reflects an intention to sell in compliance with Rule 144 requirements.

Net assets rose to $29.8 million as of September 30, 2025, with Principal Market NAV per Share $6.18 and 4,811,500 Shares outstanding. The Trust held 394,550.34866028 ZEC at a fair value of $75.42 per ZEC (Coinbase, 4:00 p.m. ET).
Q3 operations showed a $14.2 million increase in net assets from operations, driven by a $14.3 million net realized and unrealized gain, partially offset by a $108 thousand Sponsor’s Fee. Total return for the quarter was 91.93%. The annual Sponsor’s Fee is 2.5%, payable in ZEC, contributing to the slight decline in ZEC per Share over time. The Trust does not operate a redemption program. Subsequent to quarter-end, the sponsor structure was reorganized on October 22, 2025, and ZEC fair value was $383.42 per ZEC as of October 31, 2025.
