The firm launched its Zcash ETF on Tuesday as part of its broader effort to expand investor exposure to digital assets, including ZEC, the native coin of the privacy-focused crypto network. The move ties the fund's first-year fee flow directly to ecosystem outreach at a time when spot crypto ETFs have become a key channel for packaging digital-asset exposure in traditional markets.
The ZCSH fund began trading on NYSE Arca with about $313 million in assets and 387,212 ZEC held. It carries a 2.5% management fee.
