Grayscale proposes income ETF as Zcash fund nears $1 billion

  • Grayscale filed to create the ZCSH High Income ETF using options tied to Zcash ETPs.
  • ZCSH held roughly $996 million in assets by Sept. 25, approaching $1 billion.
  • The proposed fund would avoid direct ZEC holdings, wallets and private-key control.

Grayscale filed with the SEC on Sept. 25 to propose the ZCSH High Income ETF, an actively managed fund designed to generate income from options tied to Zcash exchange-traded products. The fund would seek distributions every two weeks while maintaining indirect exposure to ZEC, but it would not hold ZEC directly, operate a crypto wallet or control private keys. The strategy resembles a covered-call product: it would collect option premiums to support distributions, although selling calls can limit gains if Zcash rises above the options' strike prices. The proposal comes as Grayscale's existing ZCSH fund approaches $1 billion in assets, reaching roughly $996 million by Sept. 25 after crossing $500 million just weeks after launch. That growth reflects ZEC previously held by Grayscale's former trust and the increase in Zcash's price, rather than nearly $1 billion of new investor cash. Zcash's rally above $1,200 and a separate European Zcash ETP have also expanded attention and access to the privacy coin.
