- Published
- Updated
Winklevoss Asset Services filed paperwork for a spot Zcash ETF that would hold ZEC directly and use the ticker WINK on Nasdaq. The filing names Gemini as custodian and sets a 0.25% fee, while one version of the proposal also mentions potential Winklevoss Capital affiliate investment of up to $100 million.

What it means
In practice, the filing changes what can be offered in the US market around Zcash by putting an exchange-traded fund proposal on the table with a named ticker, custodian, and fee. It does not change ZEC itself, and the fund’s direct-hold structure remains the same even though the application adds new listing and custody details.
Market reaction i
Zcash fell 0.7% in the 4 hours after the first headline, after falling 1.1% in the 2 hours before.
48 prices, one every 30 minutes · The move was larger before the first headline than after: an observation, not an explanation. The market also moves on things nobody publishes.
