Grayscale Announces 3-for-1 Share Split for Its Zcash ETF
Grayscale is making its Zcash ETF more accessible by implementing a 3-for-1 forward share split. The move aims to lower the per-share price of the fund, which has surged in value due to Zcash's rapid appreciation over the past year—rising more than 2,800%. Shareholders will receive two additional shares for every one they hold as of September 28, with new shares distributed on September 29. The split is intended to make it easier for retail investors to purchase whole units in a fund that has attracted significant inflows since its launch. The Zcash ETF (ticker: ZCSH) was launched by converting Grayscale's older Zcash Trust and became the first spot ETF directly holding ZEC, offering exposure through traditional brokerage accounts. The fund has drawn over $233 million in just a month of trading, with net assets reaching around $890 million as of September 17. This split follows similar actions taken by Grayscale for its Ethereum Trust when ETH prices made shares too expensive. Zcash's popularity is driven partly by growing concerns about privacy and the ability to conduct both public and private transactions using zk-SNARKs technology, which enhances transaction anonymity without compromising validity.
