Grayscale Files Zcash ETF That Pays Every 2 Weeks: What's the Catch?

Grayscale filed for a Zcash ETF (ZCSH) that would pay shareholders biweekly through option premiums, not direct coin ownership. The filing, submitted to the SEC on September 25, could take effect in early December. The proposed ETF, ZCSH High Income, will not hold Zcash (ZEC) but will trade options tied to Grayscale's existing Zcash ETF. The fund aims to generate income by selling short-dated call options, but this strategy caps upside gains and exposes the fund to market risks.

Grayscale’s Zcash ETF hits $1B AUM, but fresh inflows tell a different story

Grayscale's Zcash ETF (ZCSH) reached $1B in assets under management, though only $306M came from new inflows. The rest was due to Zcash's price surge and pre-existing holdings from the Grayscale Zcash Trust. ZEC's price has doubled since the ETF's launch, contributing to the AUM growth. Meanwhile, broader crypto ETFs saw significant inflows, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum.
