Zcash Surges Over 15% Following Grayscale ETF Launch

The Zcash cryptocurrency has experienced a significant surge of over 15% following the launch of Grayscale's spot Zcash ETF on NYSE Arca. This event triggered substantial institutional inflows, with assets under management increasing from $304 million to over $414 million. The influx of investment also led to short seller liquidations, totaling around $34.5 million within a 24-hour period.

The market capitalization of Zcash briefly reached approximately $17-18 billion, placing it in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market value. This uptrend is confirmed by technical indicators, with all major moving averages being surpassed by the current price. The Ichimoku Kijun at $758.34 reinforces a strong support base.

Momentum indicators show powerful upward dynamics, with MACD and ADX both signaling a buy. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is highly elevated at 80.26, flagging overbought conditions. The price is holding near the session high, with intraday volatility standing at 1.44%.
