Grayscale Zcash Trust Announces NYSE Arca Listing and Name Change

What Happened

• On August 21, 2026, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (the Sponsor) announced the Sponsor expects shares of Grayscale Zcash Trust (ZEC) to begin trading on NYSE Arca on or about August 25, 2026 under the ticker "ZCSH," subject to required regulatory approvals.
• The Sponsor also announced its intention to change the Trust’s name to "The Zcash ETF," effective on or about the same date, and plans to amend the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement to reflect the name change. The filing notes no assurance the listing or name change will occur on the anticipated timeline or at all. Outstanding stock certificates remain valid and do not need to be exchanged.

Key Details

Why It Matters

• If approved, listing on NYSE Arca means the Trust’s shares would trade on a national securities exchange under the ticker ZCSH, which can increase visibility and may improve liquidity and ease of trading for investors.
• The proposed name change to "The Zcash ETF" signals the Sponsor’s intent to present the product as an ETF-style trust on the exchange, but investors should note the announced timing is conditional on regulatory approvals and is not guaranteed.
• Existing holders need not exchange certificates; their shares remain valid under the current documentation until any formal changes are completed.
