Grayscale's Zcash ETF Experiences $93.56 Million in Outflows in One Week
Grayscale's ZCSH, the first US-listed spot exchange-traded fund for Zcash, has reported a staggering $93.56 million in outflows over the past week. This downturn follows a period of strong performance since its launch on August 25, 2026, where it initially attracted $271 million in cumulative net inflows.
From Success to Setback
After a promising start, including a peak of $98.2 million in inflows during the week ending September 18, the fund's fortunes have reversed sharply. The recent outflows were marked by significant daily redemptions, including $30.25 million on September 30 and $26.93 million on October 2, contributing to a cumulative drop in net inflows to $212.56 million.
Impact on Zcash and Future Outlook
The decline in assets under management, which fell from approximately $915–979 million in September to around $751 million by early October, has raised concerns about ZEC's price stability. ZEC's value has also seen volatility, dropping to around $1,308, down about 17.5% from the start of the week and approximately 23% from its recent peak near $1,690.
Despite these challenges, Grayscale's fund remains net positive since its launch. The situation calls for close monitoring of daily redemption trends and ZEC's price movements, particularly around key support levels. A recent 3-for-1 forward share split may also influence liquidity and investor interest moving forward.
