Grayscale's Zcash spot ETF (ZCSH) will undergo a 3-for-1 stock split on Sept. 30, aiming to lower the per-share price and improve access for investors. The ETF has seen significant inflows since its Aug. 25 launch, with net assets of $890 million as of Sept. 17. Zcash (ZEC) prices have also surged, reaching $1,521 on Sept. 19.
